Nu Quantum bolsters board with new advisor

Cambridge-based quantum entanglement startup Nu Quantum has appointed Roland Acra as a board advisor, bringing extensive expertise in networking, data centres, and scale-out computing.

Former CTO of Cisco and Chief Business Officer at Psi Quantum, Roland has over 30 years of experience in tech innovation and strategy.

At Cisco, Roland led the data centre division and oversaw the successful launch of software products generating over $100 million annually. His expertise will support Nu Quantum’s mission to develop infrastructure for quantum networking, advancing the future of scalable quantum computing.

Roland said: “I am excited to work with Nu Quantum because it sits in a pivotal position of enabling scale-out quantum computing.

“Scale-out classical computing has been a huge accelerator of exciting Big Data and AI driven applications. If we pull it off in quantum, we have the potential to bring in the horizon of useful, fault-tolerant quantum computing by several years.

“That's a big deal when considering concrete commercial impact.” 

Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, founder and CEO at Nu Quantum, added: “Having Roland’s experience and insight into the scale-out of classical data centres will prove incredibly valuable for us in the next phase of our growth.

“He has already provided valuable advice and connections and we’re proud he has decided to join us.”
