At Core Scientific, Sullivan will work on financial and strategic matters, including working with customers, suppliers and creditors as well as help with the reorganization of the company’s management team, according to the filing.

Todd DuChene, Core Scientific' current president, will become chief legal officer and chief administrative officer, leading corporate, legal, financial and administrative tasks.

However, the company continues to mine bitcoin during the bankruptcy process as its cash flows remain positive.
