Council leadership
Defense Innovation Council
Council leadership responsible for national-security strategy, defense-sector governance, cyber-risk judgment, and post-quantum mission assurance. These titles describe Qtonic Quantum's Defense Innovation Council, not separate corporate-officer titles.
“I spent my career in environments where encryption failure means mission failure. Qtonic Quantum applies that standard to enterprise systems.”

Peter Renner
Vice Chairman, Defense Innovation Council
Capital strategy
“Quantum risk is not a distant theoretical problem. Adversaries are already collecting encrypted data today with the expectation that it can be decrypted later. If data needs to remain confidential for decades, then the exposure exists now, not in some future year.”
Private-equity and investment-banking leader guiding enterprise scale, capital strategy, and long-term market positioning.

“Every other tool tells you what's broken today. QScout tells you what breaks next, how severe the exposure could be, and where to spend your budget first. That's the difference between a vulnerability list and a migration roadmap. CISOs don't need more findings. They need decisions.”

Garrett Melich
President, Level Up, LLC | Retired CIA
“What stands out across these environments isn't a lack of encryption, but a lack of prioritization. Organizations are protecting data with vastly different lifespans using the same cryptographic foundations. Quantifying that difference is what turns quantum readiness from a theoretical concern into an actionable program.”
Retired CIA officer now serving as President of Level Up, LLC, providing mission technology and data analytics for U.S. Intelligence Community. Former Growth Director for Leidos National Security Sector, leading cybersecurity and digital transformation initiatives.
