Quantum Motion, launched in 2017, has announced Hugo Saleh will take on both roles as the firm looks to tap into the increasing demand for quantum computing. Mr Saleh, who has more than 25 years of leadership experience in tech firms, will be responsible for the company's global expansion and development of commercial business. James Palles-Dimmock, CEO of Quantum Motion, said: "Hugo's track record at industry-defining companies like Google and Intel speaks volumes.
"His deep commercial expertise and proven capability in scaling technology businesses will significantly accelerate our global commercialisation efforts. "We are thrilled to have him onboard as we expand our presence internationally and drive quantum computing's impact across critical industries.” Quantum computing is anticipated to be greater than a $100 billion market.
Quantum Motion's focus is the production of fault-tolerant quantum computers, a task that requires millions of qubits - the basic unit of information in quantum computing. Mr Saleh said: "I’m excited to join Quantum Motion at this pivotal moment in the industry’s history. "The insatiable demand for high-end computing to power AI and high-performance computing applications is driving the need for the next inflection point in the compute industry; Quantum Motion’s novel silicon spin qubit approach leverages the decades-long trillion dollar investment in the semiconductor industry to meet that demand.
