I look forward to working with him as we continue our efforts to deliver long-term value for customers, partners, and shareholders.”

He has also led numerous enterprise system transformations, accelerating close cycles and improving financial transparency for executive teams and institutional investors.

“I am excited to join Quantum at such a pivotal time,” said White. “Quantum has a unique opportunity to lead in managing data across its entire lifecycle, especially as organizations are looking to retain all data to leverage AI. I look forward to working together with Hugues and the leadership team to strengthen execution, enhance financial performance, and support the company’s long-term growth strategy.”

White holds an MBA from the University of Denver and a B.A. from the University of Colorado Boulder.
