Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:QUBT), a first-to-market nanophotonic-based quantum technology company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Boehmler as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Mr. Boehmler brings extensive financial expertise and a strong background in strategic financial management to QCi. Mr. Boehmler succeeds Chris Roberts, who, in addition to the CFO role, developed and managed the Company’s legal and human resource functions. Mr. Roberts has successfully transitioned the human resource management responsibilities to the Company’s recently-hired human resource director and, as a senior member of the executive team, is continuing in the role of General Counsel and a strategic advisor to the Company as a consultant. With a background in corporate law, government contracts and litigation, Mr. Roberts has extensive practical experience to assist the Company. Mr. Roberts began his legal career in New York City and received his JD from the University of Virginia School of Law, MS (Management) from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and BS (Electrical Engineering) from MIT.
Mr. Boehmler, the Company’s newly appointed CFO, has over 20 years of financial expertise, including investment banking, planning & analysis, accounting operations, financial and SEC reporting, systems integrations and financial risks & controls. Prior to joining QCi in early 2022 as the Company’s Controller, Mr. Boehmler had started his career at Credit Suisse and Booz Allen Hamilton supporting financial institutions and government clients, respectively. He went on to hold various senior financial positions at technology companies and financial institutions, including Bridgewater Associates, LP and Intelsat, where he successfully drove financial strategy and managed complex financial operations in high-demand environments. As CFO, Mr. Boehmler will assume a crucial role in overseeing the Company’s financial operations, strategy, and planning as QCi enters material commercialization. He will be responsible for managing the Company’s financial systems, overseeing SEC reporting and investor relations, while also collaborating closely with the executive team to drive strategic initiatives and optimize cost-effective controls while supporting QCi’s anticipated growth. Mr. Boehmler received his BA (Economics) from the University of Chicago.
“Chris Roberts has played a key role in the formation and growth of QCi and has worked with me as a close partner throughout our start-up phase. His dedication, tireless commitment and contributions to the Company have enabled us to evolve to where we are today, and we are grateful for his leadership and mentorship of the next generation of Company leaders,” commented Robert Liscouski, CEO of Quantum Computing Inc.
Liscouski continued, “Importantly, I officially welcome Chris Boehmler to the QCi officer ranks. Over the past year, Chris has not only surpassed our high expectations for meticulous financial acumen, but he has also proven to be a tireless study of our technology, our products, and future applications. Chris’ impressive background and proven track record in financial leadership, combined with his deep understanding of our company and its technology, will be instrumental in guiding QCi’s financial growth and driving shareholder value within the rapidly emerging quantum computing landscape.”
