Growth-oriented technology industry veterans to
support increasing market adoption of D-Wave’s annealing quantum
computing solutions
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing
systems, software, and services and the world’s first commercial
supplier of quantum computers, today announced the appointments of
veteran technology industry leaders, John DiLullo and Rohit Ghai,
to its board of directors. The new board members join at a key time
for the company, as it executes an aggressive go-to-market strategy
designed to rapidly accelerate the adoption of its annealing
quantum computing solutions across global businesses, research
institutions and government agencies.
John DiLullo currently serves as chief executive officer at
Deepwatch, a leading managed security platform for cyber resilient
enterprises. With a track record spanning more than 30 years in
technology, including more than 15 years in networking and
cybersecurity, DiLullo brings leadership expertise in growth and
profitability transformation. A long-time customer advocate,
DiLullo is focused on improving a customer’s technology adoption
experience, championing customer success and ROI, and embracing
specialized routes to market for significant growth. Prior to his
role at Deepwatch, DiLullo held CEO positions at LiveVox and
Lastline Security, as well as senior executive level positions with
F5 Networks, HP/Aruba Networks, Cisco Systems, and Sonicwall.
Rohit Ghai is currently the chief executive officer of RSA, a
global leader in identity and access management solutions for
security-first organizations. Ghai has experience in both startups
and large enterprises, with expertise in digital transformation in
highly regulated markets and knowledge across software, systems and
security. Ghai was president of RSA during its tenure as a Dell
Technologies business. Prior to that, he served as president of
Dell EMC’s Enterprise Content Division and held senior engineering
and management roles at Symantec, Computer Associates and Cheyenne
Software.
“The era of commercial quantum computing is here, and D-Wave is
at the forefront of helping organizations solve previously
unsolvable business problems including advanced logistics and
scheduling, material science innovation, drug discovery and supply
chain optimization,” said DiLullo. “If we’ve learned anything in
past decades, it’s that the world’s demand for AI-dependent,
productivity-liberating, high-speed computing is insatiable. I’m
looking forward to sharing my expertise in driving commercial
technology adoption in support of the company’s rapidly expanding
customer footprint and eco-friendly usage of quantum technology in
serving real-world enterprise computing needs.”
“D-Wave’s opportunity is significant, as entire industries are
transformed with the use of new computing paradigms like artificial
intelligence and annealing quantum computing technology,” said
Ghai. “I’m excited to join D-Wave at this time of hyper-growth and
believe my background in transformational go-to-market strategies
will help the company continue to capitalize on its unique market
position.”
“D-Wave is at a pivotal stage in its business, having built the
world’s largest quantum computer and developing solutions that
enable businesses, researchers and governments to harness the power
of this technology to solve highly complex problems,” said Steve
West, chair of the D-Wave board. “The appointments of John and
Rohit to the D-Wave board are well-timed in helping the company
take full advantage of its near-term growth opportunities.”
“John and Rohit are veteran technology leaders who each bring an
aggressive growth mindset to the D-Wave board,” said Dr. Alan
Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “I’m looking forward to working closely with
them as we continue to build the business, advance our strategic
GTM efforts, and support customers’ adoption of annealing quantum
