QuSecure Appoints Brian Cunningham as EVP Strategy & Growth
QuSecure Inc., a leader in post-quantum cybersecurity and cryptographic agility, today revealed the appointment of Brian Cunningham as Executive Vice President (EVP) for Strategy and Growth, as businesses and government entities speed up their shift to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Cunningham comes to QuSecure at a pivotal moment, offering extensive expertise in scaling essential systems within federal and commercial sectors where security, compliance, and operational precision are crucial.
Cunningham will oversee the development and expansion of QuSecure’s go-to-market operating framework in federal and commercial areas, coordinating strategy, readiness for delivery, partner networks, and execution discipline to facilitate organization-wide integration of quantum-resilient security.
His emphasis will involve speeding up market preparation, enhancing operational alignment, and assisting customers in updating cryptography smoothly as PQC requirements and threats come together.
Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO and co-founder of QuSecure says, “As organizations move from awareness to action on post-quantum security, execution matters as much as innovation. Brian brings a rare combination of operational discipline, strategic clarity, and credibility across government and enterprise markets. He knows how to build systems that scale under pressure, and that capability is exactly what QuSecure needs as demand for quantum-safe security accelerates.”
“Post-quantum cryptography is no longer a future problem; it’s a present execution challenge. Organizations know they need to modernize cryptography, but many struggle with how to do it safely, at scale, and without breaking critical systems. QuSecure has built the right platform for this moment, and I’m excited to help scale the strategy, partnerships, and operational muscle required to turn PQC readiness into durable advantage for customers,” says Brian Cunningham.
