Former NEOM Digital Executive Su Le and Silicon Valley Entrepreneur Wayne Pan Launch haimaker Platform to Power National AI Infrastructure
San Francisco, CA – Sept 2, 2025 – Former NEOM executive Su Le and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Wayne Pan today announced the launch of haimaker, a Sovereign AI Orchestration Platform built on the principle that AI is now core national infrastructure.
haimaker enables governments and enterprises to run, govern, and certify AI workloads with full data control. Compliance is the foundation of trust, security, and resilience.
"Like airports, hospitals, and telecom networks, sovereign AI must be optimized, compliant, and reliable," said Su Le, CEO of haimaker.
Su Le, CEO & Co-Founder, has spent over a decade advancing AI, chips, and cloud infrastructure worldwide. At Cisco, he led Edge Compute and Industrial IoT initiatives that laid the groundwork for predictive analytics at scale. As Chief Strategy and Digital Officer at NEOM, the $500 billion cognitive city, he helped shape Saudi Arabia’s nation-building technology strategies and worked closely with governments worldwide.
Most recently, as Chief Growth Officer at SambaNova Systems, he scaled AI chip and cloud infrastructure globally, building a partner ecosystem and strengthening relationships with strategic accounts across the Americas and the Middle East.
Wayne Pan, CTO & Co-Founder, has a proven track record of building successful teams and products that attract major strategic value. He co-founded a recommendation startup that was acquired by LinkedIn, where he later served as Director of Engineering.
He most recently co-founded Accord, an AI-powered Revenue Execution Platform. With deep expertise in AI-driven development, workflow optimization, and scalable SaaS, he blends technical mastery with sharp product instinct, enabling teams to execute with precision and speed in competitive markets.
“Nations are rushing to secure AI sovereignty. Like airports, hospitals, and telecom networks, sovereign AI must be optimized, compliant, and reliable for every citizen. Without comprehensive benchmarking, orchestration, and certification, they risk falling behind in efficiency, compliance, and innovation,” said Su Le.
“Building sovereign AI demands engineering discipline, scalable systems, and the ability to execute with speed. At haimaker, we created the foundation nations need to run AI securely and reliably at scale,” said Wayne Pan.
For governments, haimaker provides national control over AI infrastructure. Nations can certify and govern AI workloads with transparency and resilience, ensuring every citizen benefits from compliant, trusted systems that strengthen sovereignty.
For telco providers, haimaker enables sovereign AI clouds that turn networks into platforms for national innovation. Operators can monetize the “sovereign premium” by offering compliant, country-specific AI services to enterprises, developers, and government partners.
For developers and enterprises, haimaker lets teams run compliant sovereign inference instantly. Choose certified infrastructure in the regions you need, fully aligned with local regulations. Just code, deploy, and stay ahead as new regions come online. With haimaker, compliance is built in from day one.
haimaker: your AI, your rules.
