Dr. Patrick Jahnke is Co-Founder and co-CEO of Turba Labs, the world's first AI performance platform on a mission to double global compute without building a single new data center.

Patrick earned his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) from the Technical University of Darmstadt, where his 2021 thesis examined observing, predicting and enforcing properties of data center interactions, and studied physics at the University of Dusseldorf and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.

With 20+ years developing AI algorithms, Patrick brings deep expertise in the intersection of hardware and software, arguing that useful work per accelerator matters far more than raw fleet size.

Prior to Turba Labs, Patrick led key initiatives at SAP, focusing on AI systems for predictive maintenance and utilization optimization across enterprise data center infrastructure.

Turba Labs emerged from two years of stealth in October 2026, raised $52M in combined seed and Series A funding led by Creandum and Cusp Capital, and has built a 65-person team of PhD-level engineers from Meta, AMD, Rackspace and Uber.
