A finance expert joins D-Wave as it scales quantum computing

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has appointed Kevan P. Krysler, formerly CFO of NYSE-listed Everpure, Inc., to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee, signaling a sharpened focus on financial rigor as the publicly traded quantum computing firm (NASDAQ: QBTS) scales. Krysler currently leads finance at Carbon Robotics, a company building AI-powered agricultural robots, which parallels D-Wave’s increasing emphasis on practical quantum applications beyond research, the company says. “D-Wave is at an exciting stage of growth, with a differentiated technology portfolio and accelerating commercial traction,” said Krysler, adding that his experience will support the company’s continued execution and growth strategy.

Kevan Krysler Joins D-Wave Board Amidst Company Scaling Kevan P. Krysler’s appointment signals a heightened focus on financial rigor for D-Wave (NASDAQ: QBTS), a strategy less common among early-stage quantum technology companies that often remain private. Prior to Carbon Robotics, Krysler served as senior vice president of finance and chief accounting officer at VMware, Inc., a major player in cloud infrastructure; this background is increasingly relevant as quantum computing transitions toward delivery as a service. Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, stated that as adoption of their production-grade annealing quantum computing technology scales and their dual-platform strategy advances, Krysler will be a valuable addition. Sharon Holt, chair of the D-Wave board, emphasized Krysler’s value, stating that his perspectives on capital allocation, operating discipline and navigating complex growth environments will complement the board’s existing expertise. Krysler himself expressed enthusiasm, saying. D-Wave is at an exciting stage of growth, with a differentiated technology portfolio and accelerating commercial traction, as quantum computing becomes an important part of the enterprise technology landscape.
