UbiQD Elevates Tony Beams to Chief Financial Officer

UbiQD promoted Tony Beams to chief financial officer, a move announced December 11, 2025 that caps a rapid internal rise since he joined the company in December 2024 as director of finance. Beams assumed the CFO role in mid 2025 as UbiQD expands commercialization of its quantum dot materials used in sustainable agriculture and clean energy applications.

Beams brings 25 years of professional experience spanning optical products manufacturing, investment banking, and digital content delivery. His resume includes work with technology and agriculture firms where he managed financial strategy during product scaling and capital allocation efforts. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California Berkeley and an MBA from New York University Stern School of Business.

The promotion signals an operational shift at UbiQD as the Los Alamos company moves from research driven development toward broader manufacturing and market deployment. The company is headquartered at 134 Eastgate Drive, and local leaders say experienced financial leadership will be vital to attracting investment, managing supply chain relationships, and coordinating workforce growth. For residents, the appointment underscores ongoing private sector investment in the county beyond the national laboratories, with implications for skilled job creation and supplier opportunities.

From a market perspective, a CFO with background in both capital markets and manufacturing can help UbiQD navigate funding rounds, cost management, and partnerships needed to commercialize quantum dot technologies. Those materials have applications in precision agriculture for crop management and in components for next generation clean energy devices, areas that draw increasing investor attention as sustainability-driven demand grows.

Beams’s elevation also positions UbiQD more prominently within Northern New Mexico’s emerging advanced technology manufacturing cluster. As the company refines production and seeks new commercial contracts, fiscal stewardship will be central to sustaining growth while preserving local economic benefits. The promotion completes a year of rapid organizational change and sets UbiQD on a clearer path to scale its Los Alamos operations.
