11 Apr Q.ant accelerates commercialization
Q.ant has strengthened its leadership team with the creation of a new Vice President Commercials position. Since early April 2026, Michael Krüger has been responsible for the company’s Sales and Business Development activities in this role.
According to Q.ant, Krüger brings more than two decades of experience in technology sales, most of it gained at Intel. During his time there, he progressed from Software Engineer to technical sales roles and ultimately to Director Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Sales Germany. He also held several sales management positions focused on data centre infrastructure and high-performance computing.
Following his tenure at Intel, Krüger served as Director HPC & AI Market Development EMEA at Openchip & Software Technologies in Barcelona and later as Chief Revenue Officer at AI start-up Co-Mind.ai.
“Michael Krüger combines deep technical expertise in data-centre technologies with a proven track record in enterprise sales,” said Dr. Michael Förtsch, Founder and CEO of Q.ant. “His experience in the data-centre and AI markets is exactly what we need at this crucial stage in the commercialization of our photonic processors.”
According to the company, Krüger’s appointment is part of a series of strategic leadership decisions at Q.ant. Earlier in 2026, Utz Bacher was appointed Vice President Software. With Krüger’s commercial expertise, Q.ant aims to further accelerate its transition from a technology developer to a provider of market-ready products.
