In addition, he has extensive Wall Street equity capital markets experience with Prudential Securities, Lehman Brothers and SunTrust and serves on the Board of financial services company Affinity FCU and recently appointed to IonQ, a leader in trapped-ion quantum computing.

Singh speaks multiple languages and grew up on four continents before completing his high school in the U.S. He earned MS and BS degrees in engineering from Columbia University and an MBA in finance from New York University. He recently earned a certificate in Artificial Intelligence at Oxford University’s Said School of Business and has participated in entrepreneur mentoring to new start-ups.
