intellectual property attorney at firms such as Farella, Braun +
Martel and Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati. Additionally,
her international experience and EU citizenship bring a global
perspective to her role at IonQ.

in quantum computing," said Giamalis. "I look forward to
collaborating with this talented team to navigate the legal-related
opportunities ahead as we continue to advance our quantum
