In his role, Richard will leverage his experience to build and strengthen relationships with the EU, Middle East, NATO, and diplomatic delegates from partner nations, as well as private finance and venture capital institutions. His mission will be to pair funding opportunities with government requirements and to oversee investment negotiations, thereby aiding allied countries in defending their sovereignty.  This unique Funding Division forms part of Quantum Trilogy’s groundbreaking governmental offering, which aims to strengthen cross-border relationships and deliver truly bold technological solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having worked across the energy, finance and defense sectors, Richard is one of the defense industry\u2019s most dynamic corporate assets, bringing fierce negotiation and mediation prowess to ensure fast and secure business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a successful career in the Parachute Regiment and the US State Department, Richard founded and led businesses in post-conflict regions  such as Iraq, Afghanistan and West Africa where he focused on procurement and energy. He led those businesses through two funding rounds from venture capital to private equity, driving expansions in the Middle East as well as expanding into other sectors. This success resulted in a turnover of over $300 million, all whilst safely employing over 1,000 staff. Through this experience, Richard has established and built an excellent network through engagement with governments firstly in the Middle East and Africa, and subsequently in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRichard brings a vast amount of experience and expertise to a crucial role within our company,\u201d said Alain Obadia, CEO at Quantum Trilogy. \u201cAs we continue to build on our mission to drive innovation in the defense sector, he perfectly bridges the intersection of corporate and public sector relations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Donnellan commented, \u201cWhen I was approached by Quantum Trilogy, I was immediately attracted to the company\u2019s fast-paced, innovative approach to transforming the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe live in a very important time for defense, where technology is advancing at a rapid rate. It\u2019s an exciting time to be part of this change and to help drive the industry forward every day.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
