About Caroline Cochran

Cochran cofounded Oklo with her husband, Jacob DeWitte, in 2013. She is chief operating officer, while DeWitte is CEO.

Cochran and DeWitte own 16% of the company combined.

Oklo went public in 2024 at a valuation of $1 billion, after merging with a Sam Altman-backed special purpose acquisition company.

Before starting Oklo, Cochran graduated from MIT with a masters degree in nuclear engineering and worked as a marketing and engineering consultant.

Oklo's name comes from the uranium-rich mineral deposits at Oklo, Gabon, known for undergoing self-sustained fission two billion years ago.
