(GlobeNewsWire) Quantum Computing Inc.(QCI) has appointed finance and capital markets industry leader, Robert B. Fagenson, to serve on the company’s board of directors and as chair of its audit committee.
Following his appointment, QCI’s board now has five directors with three serving independently. The appointment advances the company toward satisfying the requirements of its application to list its shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Fagenson spent the early part of his career at the NYSE, where he was the managing partner of one of the largest specialist firms operating on the trading floor. As a member of the NYSE, he served as a floor governor. He was elected to the NYSE board of directors in 1993 and eventually served as vice chairman for several years.
“The QCI team is fortunate to have Robert, a corporate leader of tremendous stature and experience, join the board of directors at this pivotal moment in the company’s growth,” stated QCI chairman, president and CEO, Robert Liscouski. “His extraordinary executive and governance experience brings us invaluable knowledge, insights and relationships in the worlds of business, finance and the capital markets.”
