TeraWulf CFO brings deep expertise across data center transactions, energy-advantaged digital infrastructure campuses, and large-scale capital formation

ARLINGTON, Va., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corvex, Inc. (Nasdaq:MOVE), an engineering-led AI computing platform specializing in GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI workloads, today announced the appointment of Patrick A. Fleury to its Board of Directors, upon election at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting.

Fleury currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq:WULF), a publicly traded developer, owner and operator of environmentally sustainable, industrial-scale data center infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing.

Fleury will join Corvex at a pivotal moment following its recent public listing, as the Company scales its AI infrastructure platform and prepares to launch its token factory business. Corvex’s model, combining contracted demand, flexible access to power, proprietary software to optimize workload performance and security, and disciplined capital formation, requires deep expertise across infrastructure development, capital markets, and governance. Fleury brings direct experience across each of these areas, having helped lead a similar transition at TeraWulf.

Since joining TeraWulf in 2022, shortly after that company’s own reverse-merger debut, Fleury has led over $8 billion dollars of financings to support the company’s data center infrastructure build-out and its expansion into AI and high-performance computing hosting. His experience scaling a power-focused, newly public compute platform directly parallels Corvex’s current phase of growth, where aligning infrastructure deployment with customer demand and capital availability is critical.

Fleury has more than 25 years of experience across capital markets, credit investing, and corporate finance. Prior to TeraWulf, he was a founding member of the credit investing team at Platinum Equity and a Managing Director at Blackstone’s GSO Capital Partners (now Blackstone Credit), where he focused on energy and infrastructure credit. He began his career in the Global Energy & Power investment banking group at Bank of America Securities and has held senior roles at Jefferies and Satellite Asset Management. He has also served as a director of CVR Partners LP and as a board observer at Rentech, Inc., bringing public company governance experience through complex strategic transactions.

“Corvex sits at the intersection of AI compute, power infrastructure, and capital, and Patrick has spent his career structuring and scaling exactly these systems,” said Jay Crystal, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Corvex. “He brings a rare combination of experience across data center transactions—from powered land acquisition through structured leases—as well as deep capital markets expertise at scale. As we expand our AI infrastructure platform and continue to invest in our proprietary software capabilities, his perspective will be invaluable in helping guide disciplined, capital-efficient growth.”

“The next phase of AI infrastructure will be defined by platforms that can deliver both performance and trust at scale,” said Fleury. “Corvex has built a differentiated model that combines flexible access to power, long-term customer alignment, and a software-driven approach to optimizing workload performance and enabling secure compute through confidential computing. Paired with a disciplined approach to capital formation across both corporate and project-level structures, this model positions Corvex to scale efficiently while maintaining control over execution.”

Fleury holds a B.A., magna cum laude, in Economics and Government and Legal Studies from Bowdoin College. He will serve as an independent director and will join the Audit Committee.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
