IonQ appoints Robert Cardillo as Executive Chairman of IonQ Federal.<\/p>\n

COLLEGE PARK, MD \u2013 September 10, 2025 \u2013 IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the leader in the quantum computing and networking industries, today announced the organization of IonQ Federal aimed at integrating IonQ\u2019s proprietary technologies to serve the U.S. government and its allies. <\/p>\n

IonQ continues to meet the growing need for quantum advantage in the federal and defense sectors, with some of its largest contracts and partnerships actively advancing national security programs in the U.S. Unifying the company\u2019s government-facing quantum networking and quantum computing initiatives under IonQ Federal will enable IonQ to provide even greater public value at speed and scale. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to announce IonQ Federal in support of the continued success of the U.S. government and its allies,\u201d said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ. \u201cIonQ has a long history of providing cutting-edge quantum solutions to federal and defense entities, including over $100 million in contracts with the United States Air Force Research Lab and extensive work with DARPA, Oak Ridge National Labs, and ARLIS. The formation of IonQ Federal will provide our government customers with additional dedicated resources committed to the further application of quantum computing and quantum networking solutions across their programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Cardillo has been appointed as Executive Chairman of IonQ Federal and will remain a member of the Company\u2019s Board of Directors. In this role, Cardillo will be responsible for leading strategic operations and partnerships to enhance the utilization of IonQ\u2019s quantum computing and quantum networking applications for U.S. government agencies and their allies. <\/p>\n

Cardillo has served on IonQ\u2019s Board since 2024 and is a member of its Audit Committee. He also serves as Chairman of the Boards of Directors of the U.S. Geospatial-Intelligence Foundation and Planet Federal. Cardillo was previously the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and served as a national intelligence advisor to the President, driving the daily U.S. intelligence briefing. His 40 years of intelligence experience and detailed understanding of IonQ\u2019s technologies position him well to oversee IonQ Federal\u2019s priorities in support of the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

Cardillo commented, \u201cIt remains critical that the U.S. and our allies leverage IonQ\u2019s leadership in quantum computing and networking to create interoperability standards that strengthen national security and prosperity in this rapidly evolving geopolitical environment. The creation of IonQ Federal will empower us to bring essential quantum advantage to government agencies, increase our engagement with key federal programs, and help solve some of the most complex problem sets for our nation. I\u2019m excited to get to work as Executive Chairman of IonQ Federal while continuing to participate actively on IonQ\u2019s Board.\u201d<\/p>\n
