Qtonic Quantum appointed retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Roger L. Cloutier Jr. to lead operations, continuing his role as chair of the Allied Defense Council since May 2026.

Four retired generals lead the company, including Mark Weatherington and Milford Beags, while advisers include former NSA deputy director Richard Ledgett and CISA executive assistant David Mussington.
