PsiQuantum Appoints Victor Peng as CEO, Adds Rob Soderbery (EVP) and Sriram Sitaraman (CIO)
Tags Infrastructure · Enterprise
PsiQuantum named Victor Peng permanent CEO (previously interim since February 2026), Rob Soderbery as EVP, and Sriram Sitaraman as CIO. Peng previously led Xilinx through its AMD acquisition. Soderbery brings 30+ years from Cisco (multi-billion portfolio across networking, cloud, compute) and Western Digital. Sitaraman was SVP/CIO at Synopsys, scaling engineering compute and AI workloads. The appointments signal PsiQuantum's shift from R&D to commercial scaling of silicon-photonics quantum computing.
Technical significance
The leadership team combines semiconductor scaling (Peng), hyperscale infrastructure (Soderbery), and engineering compute/AI operations (Sitaraman) — exactly the capabilities needed to manufacture and operate utility-scale quantum systems. Soderbery's explicit mandate to advance silicon photonics into AI networking suggests PsiQuantum's photonic interconnect technology may have near-term applications in classical AI infrastructure before full quantum advantage.
