Welcoming Jon Lau of A*STAR to the XCION Board of Advisors

🌟 Advancing Quantum Technology as a Strategic CXO Imperative

Jon Lau, CISO of A*STAR

We are pleased to announce the nomination of Jon Lau, Director at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, to the XCION Board of Advisors, as we prepare for the 13th XCION CXO Summit in Bali.

Jon’s nomination reflects XCION’s continued commitment to elevating future-critical technologies and ensuring our CXO community remains ahead of emerging inflection points. Beyond his leadership in cybersecurity and national-level technology initiatives, Jon plays an active role in shaping the quantum security discourse in Singapore as Vice-Chair of the SGTech Quantum Cybersecurity Workgroup.

Why This Nomination Matters

Quantum technology — particularly quantum computing and quantum-safe security — is fast transitioning from research labs into real enterprise relevance. Its implications will be felt across financial services, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and data-intensive industries, redefining how leaders think about risk, trust, and long-term resilience.

Through Jon’s nomination, XCION aims to bring clarity and strategic context to quantum for CXOs — moving the conversation beyond theory toward readiness, governance, and business impact. His perspective from A*STAR, one of Asia’s leading applied research institutions, will help bridge advanced science with pragmatic leadership decisions.

Strengthening XCION’s Future-Focused Agenda

The nomination of Jon Lau further strengthens XCION’s Board of Advisors as we expand our focus beyond AI and cybersecurity to include quantum technology as a new segment of strategic interest for our community.

As we look ahead to Bali and beyond, we believe quantum will become a defining topic for the next generation of CXO leadership. We are delighted to have Jon contribute his insight and guidance as XCION continues to pioneer meaningful, forward-looking conversations at the CXO level.
