Company Announcements

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 25, 2026-- Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) ("Oklo," or "the Company"), an advanced nuclear technology company, today announced that Oklo’s CEO and co-founder Jacob DeWitte has been appointed by U.S. President Donald J. Trump to serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) alongside America’s leaders from science, engineering, and industry.

“Oklo’s Chief Operating Officer and co-founder Caroline DeWitte and I started this company 13 years ago, and every day we're proud, humbled, and excited by this journey,” said DeWitte. “I believe deeply in American ingenuity and leadership, and I am honored to join the President's Council. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow council members to strengthen American leadership in science and technology, bring more opportunity for our county's workers and students, and support building an abundant, affordable, and clean energy future for our nation.”

DeWitte brings to the Council direct experience in advanced nuclear technology development for clean, reliable power. The Council will be co-chaired by David Sacks and Michael Kratsios. DeWitte joins a group of appointees and leaders from across the technology and business sectors, including Marc Andreessen, Sergey Brin, Safra Catz, Michael Dell, Fred Ehrsam, Larry Ellison, David Friedberg, Jensen Huang, John Martinis, Bob Mumgaard, Lisa Su, and Mark Zuckerberg, the White House said.
