Biography
Gerald Mullally is CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), Europe's leading quantum computing company, driving scalable quantum hardware for real-world AI, finance, and defense applications. Appointed permanent CEO in July 2025 after 14 months interim, Gerald spearheaded the launch of the world's first Quantum-AI Data Centre with NVIDIA and Digital Realty—systems deployed in London, Tokyo, New York, and Spain, featuring OQC's fastest-benchmarked architecture for low-latency compute. Under his leadership, OQC secured Series B funding from Chevron and Sumitomo Mitsui, expanded to the US (NYC's first quantum computer for Wall Street), and built the UK's first quantum error correction testbed. Ex-Director at UK Prime Minister’s Office & Cabinet Office (nearly a decade), Gerald scaled global gov-to-gov digital/data ops across 50+ countries in EMEA/APAC/Americas. With 15+ years at Accenture/PwC, he delivered strategy/tech for life sciences, finance, logistics, energy, and defense. MSc Economics/Public Policy (LSE), Gerald keynotes on quantum-AI synergy (e.g., J.P. Morgan Tech Stars: 15% fraud reduction case; NVIDIA spotlight: "OQC = next NVIDIA")—predicting 2028 milestone for million-operation error-free runs and energy-efficient supercomputing (35kW vs. 10-14MW). Vision: Quantum powers AI via synthetic data/ML acceleration.
