= Ilana Wisby
{c}
Founding CEO of <Oxford Quantum Circuits>.
As mentioned at https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/tech/innovation/in-conversation-with-oxford-quantum-circuits-ilana-wisby[] she is not the original tech person:
> she was finally headhunted by Oxford Science and Innovation to become the founding CEO of OQC. The company was spun out of Oxford University's physics department in 2017, at which point Wisby was handed "a laptop and a patent".
Did they mean <Oxford Sciences Enterprises>? There's nothing called "Oxford Science and Innovation" on <Google>. Yes, it is just a typo https://oxfordscienceenterprises.com/news/meet-the-founder-ilana-wisby-ceo-of-oxford-quantum-circuits/ says it clearly:
> I was headhunted by <Oxford Sciences Enterprises> to be the founding CEO of OQC.
https://oxfordquantumcircuits.com/story mentions that the core patent was by Dr. Peter Leek: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-leek-00954b62/
