Nu Quantum, the category creator and leader in distributed quantum computing, has appointed Richard Moulds, architect of Amazon’s Amazon Braket, to its Strategic Advisory Board. Moulds’ experience includes spearheading the launch of AWS’s global quantum platform, providing access to diverse quantum computers and simulators for algorithm development over seven years. Simultaneously, Nu Quantum appointed Jonathan Cumming as CFO to lead financial strategy and long-term growth, bringing experience scaling companies and achieving billion-dollar exits. These appointments mark a major milestone as Nu Quantum transitions from innovation toward commercial rollout of its quantum networking solutions.
Nu Quantum’s New Strategic Advisory Board Member
Nu Quantum has expanded its leadership by appointing Richard Moulds to its Strategic Advisory Board. Moulds previously served as General Manager of Amazon Braket, where he spearheaded the launch of AWS’s global quantum platform. Over seven years, he shaped Amazon’s quantum strategy and built a large quantum ecosystem. His experience in building accessible quantum platforms will now support Nu Quantum’s mission of enabling large-scale, distributed quantum systems for commercial deployment, addressing the challenge of scaling quantum computing.
Nu Quantum also appointed Jonathan Cumming as its new CFO. Cumming brings extensive strategic experience in international markets, having previously scaled companies globally and achieved billion-dollar exits. He began his career at Barclays and later served as CFO of ONO, helping grow the company and prepare its €10 billion sale to Vodafone. He also guided another company from administration to a €2 billion exit over eight years, bringing valuable financial expertise to Nu Quantum.
These appointments mark a major milestone for Nu Quantum as it moves towards commercial rollout of its quantum networking solutions. Nu Quantum’s Entanglement Fabric approach aims to interconnect quantum processors, creating a more powerful distributed quantum computer. Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO, believes Richard and Jonathan’s expertise will be invaluable in advancing quantum networking towards practical, data centre-ready deployment.
Strengthening Nu Quantum’s Senior Leadership Team
Nu Quantum is bolstering its leadership to facilitate the commercial rollout of its quantum networking solutions. Key to this effort is the appointment of Richard Moulds, the architect of Amazon Braket, to Nu Quantum’s Strategic Advisory Board. Moulds previously spearheaded the launch of AWS’s global quantum platform, gaining over seven years of experience building a large quantum ecosystem. His expertise will support Nu Quantum’s mission of enabling large-scale, distributed quantum systems.
To further strengthen its team, Nu Quantum appointed Jonathan Cumming as CFO. He brings extensive strategic experience in international markets, having previously scaled companies to achieve billion-dollar exits. Cumming’s background includes a decade as CFO of ONO, where he helped prepare the Madrid-based cable operator for a €10 billion sale to Vodafone, and later guided another company to a €2 billion exit over eight years.
These appointments are strategically aligned with Nu Quantum’s goal of advancing quantum networking towards practical deployment. According to Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO, the expertise of both leaders will be invaluable as the company develops scalable, modular quantum systems. Nu Quantum’s Entanglement Fabric is a modular networking layer designed to interconnect quantum processors, accelerating the path toward fault tolerance.
Nu Quantum’s Distributed Quantum Computing Technology
Nu Quantum is established as a leader in distributed quantum computing technology, having created the category itself. The company’s core innovation is its “Entanglement Fabric” – a networking layer designed to connect quantum processors. This modular and interoperable approach aims to create a more powerful distributed quantum computer by interconnecting individual processing units. Nu Quantum is focused on accelerating the path toward fault tolerance, anticipating breakthroughs and industry-wide transformation through its technology.
The company is strengthening its leadership to support commercial rollout of its quantum networking solutions. Notably, Richard Moulds, architect of Amazon’s quantum computing service Amazon Braket, has joined Nu Quantum’s Strategic Advisory Board. Over seven years at AWS, he helped shape quantum strategy and build a large quantum ecosystem, bringing valuable experience in building accessible quantum platforms. This appointment signals a major milestone for Nu Quantum as it moves from innovation to deployment.
Nu Quantum’s ambition is to scale quantum computing through its networking approach. The company also appointed Jonathan Cumming as CFO to lead its financial strategy and long-term growth, bringing experience in scaling companies and achieving billion-dollar exits. Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO, believes these appointments will be invaluable in advancing quantum networking toward practical, data centre-ready deployment and delivering commercial value.
I’m thrilled to join Nu Quantum at such an exciting stage in its journey. The team’s vision and groundbreaking quantum networking technology have the potential to transform industries worldwide. I am delighted to become part of a truly impressive group of individuals, led by an inspirational founder, and I look forward to contributing my experience to help scale the business, unlock new growth opportunities and bring these solutions to market.
