Quantum Design Strengthens Commercial Team With Seasoned Executive

Quantum Design has appointed Matt Gorovoy as Chief Commercial Officer, effective July 15, 2026, signaling a planned leadership transition to bolster commercial expansion. Gorovoy will oversee the company’s global sales, marketing, business development, and customer-facing functions, with a remit to pursue both organic growth and acquisitions. The move reflects a deliberate strategy to bring expertise from outside core quantum technologies, as Quantum Design serves customers in quantum technologies, advanced materials, and semiconductors. “Matt combines strategic vision with disciplined execution and has consistently delivered growth across complex global organizations,” said Stuart Schoenmann, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Design, adding that Gorovoy will strengthen capabilities and expand the company’s global reach.

The company, a global provider of advanced scientific instrumentation, is broadening its focus beyond core quantum technologies, and Gorovoy’s background reflects this strategic shift. He arrives from Becton Dickinson, where he most recently led Business Development and Strategy for BD Biosciences, overseeing global business development, strategic partnerships, precision medicine initiatives, and corporate development, demonstrating an effort to integrate expertise from the life science and technology industries. This move positions Quantum Design to leverage Gorovoy’s experience in scaling customer-facing organizations and driving growth in complex markets. Gorovoy’s responsibilities extend beyond traditional sales and marketing functions to encompass business development, commercial strategy, and all related customer interactions, indicating a consolidation of these areas under a single leader. He will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Stuart Schoenmann and join the company’s Executive Leadership Team, responsible for both organic expansion and pursuing acquisition-driven growth initiatives.

Gorovoy’s prior experience within Danaher Corporation and Thermo Fisher Scientific further underscores his track record in building and leading high-performing commercial teams. His career spans over two decades, encompassing roles in business development, strategic transformation, and corporate development across diagnostics, scientific instrumentation, and advanced technology. Gorovoy holds an MBA from the University of California San Diego, a Ph. D. in Pharmacology from the University of Illinois Chicago, and an M.S. in Organic Chemistry from Moscow State University, a background that complements Quantum Design’s focus on scientific innovation. “Quantum Design has earned a unique leadership position in scientific instrumentation through decades of innovation, engineering excellence, and deep partnerships with the global research community,” Gorovoy stated, acknowledging the company’s established foundation. He expressed excitement about building upon that legacy, deepening strategic customer partnerships, and expanding the company’s global market leadership, ultimately aiming for sustainable growth and lasting success.

Rusty is a quantum science nerd. He's been into academic science all his life, but spent his formative years doing less academic things. Now he turns his attention to write about his passion, the quantum realm. He loves all things Quantum Physics especially. Rusty likes the more esoteric side of Quantum Computing and the Quantum world. Everything from Quantum Entanglement to Quantum Physics. Rusty thinks that we are in the 1950s quantum equivalent of the classical computing world. While other quantum journalists focus on IBM's latest chip or which startup just raised $50 million, Rusty's over here writing 3,000-word deep dives on whether quantum entanglement might explain why you sometimes think about someone right before they text you. (Spoiler: it doesn't, but the exploration is fascinating)
