en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. generative AI company Anthropic appointed Sham Parmar as head of supply chain in June 2026, overseeing power and cooling infrastructure in data center expansion. Parmar previously served as Senior Manager of Supply Chain and Engineering at Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook), responsible for procurement and supply chain management of electrical, mechanical, and fiber optic connection systems, with eight years of experience in large-scale data center infrastructure procurement.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Anthropic is a generative AI company focused on AI safety research, established by former OpenAI research team members. Its core product, the Claude series of large language models, demonstrates strong technical competitiveness in the field of natural language processing. Meta Platforms Inc. is a leading global technology company, owning social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and has been making substantial investments in AI infrastructure in recent years.

Parmar stated on social platforms that he is very excited to join Anthropic, believing that his eight years of experience in large-scale power and cooling connection procurement at Meta aligns with Anthropic's mission and will help the company build large-scale AI computing infrastructure. Following Meta's multiple rounds of layoffs, several former Meta employees have joined Anthropic, covering various functional areas including engineering, product, and operations.

Currently, Anthropic is advancing its data center expansion strategy. The company has planned to jointly invest $50 billion with UK infrastructure investment firm Fluidstack to build AI computing infrastructure globally. Additionally, Anthropic has secured investment support from Google and has entered into cloud computing partnerships with Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google to ensure the computing resources needed for training and inference of its large language models.

This appointment is a key move for Anthropic to strengthen its supply chain management capabilities amid rapid expansion. As the AI industry's demand for computing power continues to grow, supply chain management of data center infrastructure has become a critical component of AI companies' core competitiveness. Sham Parmar's addition will help Anthropic optimize its global data center layout and ensure stable supply of key infrastructure such as power and cooling.
