# D-Wave Quantum Adds Finance Veteran to Board as QBTS Scales and Faces Big Capital Decisions

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (QBTS), a quantum computing company that offers both annealing and gate-model systems, has added veteran finance executive Kevan P. Krysler to its board and Audit Committee. The move does not change D-Wave's financial outlook on its own, but it strengthens the company's financial oversight as management pushes to scale the business.

Krysler brings a background that is unusually focused on public-company finance and accounting. He currently serves as CFO of Carbon Robotics and previously served as CFO at Everpure (P). Earlier, he was senior vice president of finance and chief accounting officer at VMware and spent 18 years at KPMG, including nine years as a partner working with technology companies.

That experience is especially relevant because Krysler is joining D-Wave's Audit Committee. The company highlighted his background in public-company reporting, global financial operations, growth strategy and risk management. Board Chair Sharon Holt also pointed to his experience with capital allocation and operating discipline.

On Friday, QBTS shares rose 1.29%, closing at $21.17.
