Tech Moves: Fred Hutch leader goes to AWS; Temporal, Augmodo and Neuralwatt name execs

— Amitabha “Guppy” Gupta, a Fred Hutch Cancer Center associate director who helps researchers translate their work to broader audiences, is leaving after 14 years to join Amazon. Starting Nov. 16, he will be a strategic advisor for nonprofit research and advanced AI with AWS’ Global Nonprofit Business.

Gupta said technology was often an obstacle to scientific breakthroughs at Fred Hutch.

“It’s the infrastructure, data, and tools standing between a scientist and an answer,” he wrote on LinkedIn. In his new role, “I’ll work with researchers and research institutions on using cloud, high-performance computing, and AI to remove those barriers.”

— Microsoft board member ‌Emma Walmsley has been appointed CEO of HP, effective Jan. 4. Walmsley, who led the pharmaceutical giant GSK until December 2025, succeeds Bruce Broussard. Reuters notes that her seven years serving on the Microsoft board “are her closest brush with the tech sector” prior to taking the top job at the PC maker.

— Bas Nijholt, senior staff engineer at IonQ‘s Seattle-area facility, has resigned after three years to join an AI startup that’s still in stealth mode. At IonQ, the theoretical quantum mechanics expert built MindRoom, an open-source collaboration and knowledge-sharing platform that he calls “a company brain.”

“With this new opportunity, I get to keep building and turbocharging MindRoom with a team of people who are just as excited about AI as I am,” Nijholt said, adding that the tool will remain freely available.
