Board appointment further supports company’s
aggressive go-to-market efforts amid accelerating adoption of its
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 appointment of
Sharon Holt to its board of directors. The appointment comes on the
heels of the October 2024 additions of John DiLullo and Rohit Ghai
to the D-Wave board, as the company continues to usher in the era
of commercial quantum computing.
Holt is a seasoned technology executive, investor, and board
director with extensive global industry experience in
semiconductors, embedded technologies, and intellectual property.
Her executive roles have spanned business unit leadership, P&L
ownership, business development, sales, marketing and engineering.
Holt has served as a principal at Fraser Stuart Ventures, LLC, a
private investment and advisory firm since 2016. Prior to that, she
served as senior vice president and general manager of the
semiconductor business group at Rambus Inc., a leading technology
development and licensing company. Prior to Rambus, Holt held
executive roles at Agilent Technologies and HP. She serves on the
board of directors of Infinera Corp., a publicly traded
industry-leading supplier of intelligent transport network
solutions, and previously served as chairman of the board of
directors of Immersion Corporation, a publicly traded developer of
haptics technology for cell phones and other devices.
“We’re witnessing the onset of a new era of computation, as
quantum shifts from an experimental technology to an essential
solution for any organization looking to solve its toughest
problems,” said Holt. “As the world’s first commercial quantum
computing company, D-Wave is at the forefront of this quantum
transformation, and I’m looking forward to supporting the company
as it helps customers harness the power of quantum for measurable
impact today.”
“We’re excited to welcome Sharon to the D-Wave board, as the
company aggressively increases its efforts to fuel the global
adoption of annealing quantum computing,” said Steve West, chair of
the D-Wave board. “Her proven business leadership coupled with a
background in successful go-to-market strategies are well-suited
for maximizing impact of the company’s growth initiatives.”
“D-Wave’s opportunity is significant, supported by remarkable
product development, rapidly growing customer adoption and ongoing
scientific advancements,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave.
“Sharon’s addition to the board is perfectly timed to help the
company capitalize on its immediate advantages while building a
solid and profitable business for the long-term.”
