Rahul Vaidya, Chief Financial Officer at SCX.ai

Rahul Vaidya has joined SCX.ai as Chief Financial Officer, announcing the appointment on LinkedIn. The company describes itself as building Australia's sovereign AI infrastructure.

Appointee: Rahul Vaidya
Role: Chief Financial Officer, SCX.ai
Background: investment banking, corporate strategy, corporate development and finance, including M&A advisory and leveraged finance
Previously: Latimer Partners, Nomura, Telstra, CIMB, Morgan Stanley and KPMG

Sovereign, Secure and Economically Sustainable

Vaidya framed the appointment around the company's specific positioning rather than a generic AI pitch. SCX.ai, he said, is building Australia's sovereign AI infrastructure, delivering secure, low-latency inferencing with lower energy and consumption costs, and as AI adoption accelerates he believes organisations need AI that is not only sovereign and secure, but also economically sustainable at scale.

That framing points to a specific market position: AI infrastructure sold on data sovereignty and cost efficiency rather than on raw model capability, aimed at organisations and governments wary of routing sensitive inference through infrastructure outside their jurisdiction.

Vaidya's background sits almost entirely on the finance side, spanning M&A advisory, leveraged finance and corporate strategy across Nomura, Morgan Stanley, CIMB and Telstra, which is a conventional profile for a CFO brought in to professionalise finance at a scaling infrastructure company.
