Having spearheaded groundbreaking quantum technologies throughout 2023, the company is scaling its ambitions to bring to market revolutionary quantum sensing, communication, and computing technologies in 2024. Drawing on its commendable selection for Japan's esteemed Quantum Moonshot program, the unveiling of Oqtant—the world's inaugural quantum matter service—the integration into the United Kingdom's pioneering optical atomic clocks initiative, and the advancement in quantum RF capabilities, Infleqtion anticipates an invigorated focus on essential sectors including healthcare, financial services, defense, and communications.

Infleqtion's Chief Executive Officer, Scott Faris along with other key figures at the company, are poised to delineate Infleqtion's strategic roadmap through 2024 and elaborate on growth projections during the first grand industry webinar on February 8, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. This event marks a significant juncture as Infleqtion lays out its blueprint for the forthcoming period in quantum technology.

To support its vigorous expansion campaigns, Infleqtion has enriched its cadre with individuals of profound expertise across the semiconductor, government, industrial, and academic sectors. These luminaries include Cathy Lego, introducing her seasoned insights from diverse governance roles across prominent technology entities like Guidewire Software and Cirrus Logic. Equipped with her strategic prowess, she recently culminated her board roles with IPG Photonics and Lam Research but continues her substantial influence in technology sector growth through her firm, Lego Ventures.

Also lauded in Infleqtion's expanded advisory cadre is George P. Bush, whose illustrious background in public policy, law, and defense, garners him significant respect. With a history of service as Texas Land Commissioner and a current partner at Michael Best & Friedrich LLP law firm, Bush's dedication fortifies the technological landscape of Texas. His participation is anticipated to be pivotal in reinforcing Infleqtion's quantum manufacturing prowess and ecosystem within the region.

Kristina Johnson, a celebrated tech visionary and seasoned leader, is joining the board as an observer, augmenting her rich prowess from academia, industry, and government. Her former roles of influence include serving at preeminent institutions like Ohio State University, Johns Hopkins, Duke University, and the University of Colorado Boulder, and her legacy as the Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy. Her pioneering contributions in cutting-edge domains such as liquid-crystal on silicon micro-displays and polarization optics underpin several thriving enterprises. With current board roles at Cisco and Dupont Corporation, her strategic genius and business insight promise to navigate Infleqtion through its subsequent growth chapter.

In parallel, Infleqtion's leadership team is fortified with the following industry veterans:

Boasting a reputable stature in semiconductor and LIDAR markets, Brent Schwarz as Senior Vice President of Business Development, aims to accelerate Infleqtion's quantum portfolio's commercial uptake across a global enterprise clientele. Schwarz's previous accomplishments include spearheading Luminar Technologies' sensor adoption for enhancing global safety standards.

Julie McGee takes command as Chief Marketing Officer, channeling her seasoned expertise in brand building, market strategy, and strategic communication. Her vast Intel Corporation portfolio across PC, Data Centers, IoT, and Networking realms, coupled with her recent Chief Marketing & ESG Officer role at Semtech Corporation, pledges to uplift Infleqtion's marketing landscape.

Vernon Prince, joining as Global Vice President of Manufacturing, carries a legacy of fostering LIDAR and optical industry manufacturing. His foray into Infleqtion from his groundbreaking work at Luminar Technologies carves the pathway for Infleqtion to mature its quantum manufacturing strategy, inclusive of the qNexus program.
