Energy infrastructure firm Fermi Inc. (NASDAQ:FRMI) shares fell 18.78% in Monday’s premarket trading after the company announced leadership changes and a strategic shift under its “Fermi 2.0” initiative.

Leadership Changes And CEO Transition

The company named Marius Haas as Chairman, replacing co-founder Toby Neugebauer as CEO, who will remain on the board. Fermi also added Jeffrey S. Stein to its Board, while former CFO Miles Everson transitioned to a director role.

The company is in talks to appoint an interim CFO and has launched a search for a new CEO with Heidrick & Struggles.

To manage the transition, Fermi created an Office of the CEO, appointing Jacobo Ortiz Blanes and Anna Bofa as Co-Presidents to oversee day-to-day operations.

Fermi 2.0 Strategy And Expansion

Fermi said its Fermi 2.0 strategy will focus on strengthening governance, expanding partnerships, including with the Texas Tech University System, investing in talent and infrastructure, and advancing Project Matador.

The company also plans to formalize commitments with initial client-tenants and attract strategic investors.

As part of the transition, Fermi will establish a new headquarters in Dallas and expand its presence in Amarillo to support Project Matador.

Project Context And Commentary

“The Office of the CEO is designed to provide stable, experienced leadership during this important transition,” said Haas.

“Project Matador has the potential to deliver generational impact—not just for TTUS, but for national security, American energy independence, and the future of advanced research and industry in West Texas,” said Chancellor Brandon Creighton.

Fermi America develops large-scale private electric grid infrastructure, including its 17 GW Project Matador, integrating natural gas, nuclear, solar, and battery storage to support artificial intelligence infrastructure.
