Ilana Wisby Steps Down As Oxford Quantum Circuit CEO

Ilana Wisby, former CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits, announced in a LinkedIn post that she left the company. Late last year, OQC announced that SBI Investment, a major Japanese VC fund, would be leading OQC’s $100 million round. Wisby led OQC from its start as a spin-out from Oxford University. She built a diverse team and achieved significant milestones with the backing of passionate colleagues and investors. Wisby was also a key advocate for accessibility and inclusivity in the quantum industry, emphasizing the need to be mindful of quantum's potential for both positive and negative impacts on society.
