We talk to Dr Ilana Wisby, CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits, a spin-out company from the University of Oxford building and designing quantum computers.

​

Ilana's path to the quantum realm was not exactly linear. As an accomplished pianist and flautist, Ilana had aspirations to study music but decided to study a Physics undergraduate degree with a Minor in Music at Royal Holloway University. She then pursued a PhD in Quantum Physics and subsequently landed herself working in the start-up world.

Ilana is a natural networker. To others the word "networking" might sound uncomfortable. But networking isn't about striking up a "forced" conversation at academic conferences. Instead it can be a meet-up for lunch or a catch-up over coffee. Anyone can be a networker.
