Peerless names new president of QED Systems

Peerless Technologies today named Brent Gerity, a leader with decades of experience with defense and intelligence community programs, as president of QED Systems.

As president, Gerity will lead QED through its next phase of growth while ensuring seamless program execution, strong customer relationships, and successful integration within the broader Peerless enterprise.

Gerity’s deep operational experience and record of success make him the right fit to maintain continuity for QED customers and employees while strengthening collaboration across Peerless to unlock new opportunities, Peerless officials said.

“Brent is the ideal leader to guide QED into the future,” said Andrea Kunk, CEO of Peerless Technologies. “Our customers should expect the same reliability and delivery they count on today, while our teams will benefit from synergies and expanded opportunities across the enterprise.”

In December, Peerless acquired QED Systems as a wholly owned subsidiary, establishing a company with almost 700 total employees worldwide and expanding the capabilities of both Peerless and QED to serve the Air Force, Army, Navy, NASA and other federal customers.

“I’m honored to step into this role and excited about what’s ahead for QED. The team has built strong customer trust and delivered critical mission outcomes for years,” Gerity said. “My goal is to preserve that foundation while creating new pathways for growth, both within QED and across Peerless, so we can deliver even greater value to our customers and the warfighter.”

Gerity, who earned degrees from Brooks Institute and Utah State University, lives in Maryland. The appointment reflects Peerless’ continued commitment to disciplined growth, operational excellence, and delivering advanced technologies in support of national defense and intelligence missions
