Quantum Blockchain Technologies (QBT ) announced the appointment of Peter Fuhrman as non-executive director, effective immediately.
Mr. Fuhrman currently serves as chairman and CEO of China First Capital, which advises on and invests in the technology sector with expertise in China's semiconductor industry. He is also a strategic adviser to the board and chairman of one of China's largest listed high-technology manufacturing companies and to one of Germany's largest semiconductor technology companies, Quantum Blockchain said.
Mr. Furhman was previously CEO of Los Angeles-based Awareness Technologies, a cloud-based enterprise security company (successfully sold in 2008) and Head of Europe for publisher Forbes, Inc.
Quantum Blockchain also said it would appoint a further non-executive director to its board within the next three months.
QBT shares were suspended from trading on 16 August, as the company had only one director. As a result of today's appointment, shares have resumed trading on AIM.
QBT was up 4.48% on the news in early afternoon trading.
Francsco Gardin, CEO of Quantum Blockchain, said of the appointment: "I believe that Peter's appointment to the Board will have a strong positive impact, not only because of his experience, but also due to his vast network that he has developed in over 30 years of international business in the US, Europe and China."
