Josh Richman

Josh Richman is the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development for PsiQuantum, a quantum computing company soon to deliver the world’s first commercially useful quantum computers that will bring about transformations across healthcare, climate, finance, transportation, security and beyond. He joined the company in early 2020 and has played a critical role in establishing and growing the company’s many engagements with its government and corporate partners. Most recently, Josh led the company’s national search for where to build America’s first fault tolerant quantum computer; that process led to the company’s commitment to become the anchor tenant of Illinois’ new Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago.

Before working in quantum computing, Josh was an early pioneer in clean energy. Josh was the Vice President of Global Business Development and Policy for Bloom Energy, joining when it was a less than 50-person, pre-revenue company and leaving after growing the company into a 1,500 person, publicly traded company. For the past six years Josh has also been a Lecturer in Management at Stanford Graduate School of Business teaching “Energy: Innovation, Policy and Business Strategy.”

Before Bloom, Josh worked as an associate at Greenrock Capital, a private equity fund focused exclusively on clean energy investments. Prior to his work in clean energy, Josh spent six years working on national Congressional and Presidential political campaigns, most prominently serving as Congressman Patrick Kennedy’s political director. Josh graduated with honors from Brown University and received his MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
