Quantum Materials announced that Craig A. Lindberg has joined the company as CFO. Lindberg’s appointment is in line with the company’s drive to enhance the breadth and depth of its financial and operational leadership team. Lindberg brings executive-level experience in corporate strategy, managing growth, risk and performance management and financial reporting.
Prior to joining Quantum Materials, Lindberg worked as a consultant and entrepreneur from June 2012 through April 2015, during which time he co-founded several businesses. From September 2009 through June 2012, Lindberg served as SVP, strategic initiatives for Global Geophysical Services, Inc. From July 2008 through September 2009, he served as president and CEO of AutoSeis, Inc., a Global subsidiary.
Prior to that, Lindberg co-founded Global, where he served as CFO from April 2005 to July 2008. During those years, Global’s revenue grew from $0 to $376 million and EBITDA to $94 million; Lindberg was instrumental in raising more than $400 million in debt and $150 million in equity financing and in leading the company toward a NYSE initial public offering. He developed, implemented, and managed the corporate financial strategy and organization and led the acquisition of six businesses.
“His experience and skill sets jibe nicely with the needs of our company as we enter commercialization of our technologies and dovetail with our drive toward improving the company’s capital structure and our efforts position the company to move from the OTCBB to a major exchange listing,” said Quantum Materials CEO Stephen Squires.
“Quantum Materials is at a transformational stage in its growth,” said Lindberg. “I am eager to start negotiating partner relationships going forward to benefit our company and our shareholders. I am excited to improve our capital structure and explore the potential of seeking a top-tier exchange listing.”
Lindberg succeeds Chris Benjamin as CFO; Benjamin will retain his seat as a director on the company’s Board of Directors.
