Qtonic Quantum Appoints April E. Walker as Senior Executive Advisor
Two-time public company director and former Salesforce executive joins as boards face post-quantum migration mandates they cannot yet measure.
Qtonic Quantum Corp, a quantum cyber risk and vulnerability intelligence company, today announced the appointment of April E. Walker as Senior Executive Advisor, effective July 28, 2026. Walker serves on the boards of directors of Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED) and Sangoma Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: SANG; TSX: STC) and is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HamptonIda Advisory Group.
Walker will advise Qtonic Quantum on board-level cryptographic risk governance, working with the company's leadership on how directors and audit committees evaluate post-quantum exposure and fund migration.
Walker brings more than 30 years of enterprise technology leadership, advising executive teams and leading technology transformation across some of the world's largest organizations. Her experience spans enterprise infrastructure, cloud, customer success, cybersecurity, and digital transformation through periods of significant technological change. She has held executive leadership roles at Microsoft, MetLife, NBCUniversal, and Salesforce. She holds an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management, a Master of Science in Engineering Management from The George Washington University, and Cyber Scholar credentials from Nasdaq and NYU Law School. Walker also serves on the WSJ Board of Directors Council and is a member of the Nasdaq Center for Board Excellence.
"We can produce a signed cryptographic inventory of an enterprise and prove what changed after remediation. April has led enterprise infrastructure and sits in the boardroom. There are not many people who have done both."
"Every board I sit with understands that harvest-now-decrypt-later is real. Almost none can answer the next question: What specifically are we exposed to, and how would we know it was fixed? Directors cannot govern what no one can show them. Evidence is what turns this from a briefing slide into a funded program."
The appointment follows OMB Memorandum M-26-15, issued June 24, 2026, which directs federal agencies to produce post-quantum migration plans within 120 days and states that manual processes are often inadequate to the task. Public company boards face parallel pressure to demonstrate cryptographic inventory and migration progress.
Qtonic Quantum issues cryptographically signed CBOMs, using ML-DSA-65 signatures over SHA-256 digests, so that a customer's cryptographic inventory can be independently verified rather than taken on trust.

Why it matters
Board directors increasingly own cryptographic-risk oversight but lack a way to measure it. A two-time public-company director advising on how audit committees evaluate post-quantum exposure connects Qtonic Quantum's signed-evidence approach to the governance table where migration gets funded.
