Niklas Zennström, co-founder of Skype and founder of Atomico, has joined the PsiQuantum Board of Directors, bringing extensive experience in scaling technology companies to the quantum computing field. Zennström succeeds Siraj Khaliq, marking a change in board representation following Atomico’s initial 2019 partnership with PsiQuantum. “PsiQuantum is taking on one of the most ambitious and important technology challenges of our time,” Zennström said, as the company rapidly builds its leadership team with recent appointments including Chief Executive Officer Victor Peng. PsiQuantum intends to pair technological breakthroughs with large-scale infrastructure in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Zennström’s Appointment Reflects Atomico’s Long-Standing PsiQuantum Partnership This move signals a deepening commitment from Atomico, the venture capital firm Zennström founded in 2006, to PsiQuantum’s ambitious goal of building a fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computer. Atomico initially partnered with PsiQuantum in 2019, and Zennström’s subsequent appointment to the board demonstrates a sustained belief in the company’s technological approach and commercial potential. The transition on the board sees Zennström succeed Siraj Khaliq, a change that underscores the evolving relationship between PsiQuantum and Atomico over the past several years. “Atomico has partnered with the company for years and watched this team build technologies beyond the current standard,” said Zennström. “It is thrilling to see them now execute and scale.” This long-term investment strategy is further evidenced by a recent bolstering of PsiQuantum’s leadership team; in July, Victor Peng was permanently appointed Chief Executive Officer following his interim role since February, alongside the additions of Rob Soderbery and Sriram Sitaraman to executive positions. This rapid expansion of leadership coincides directly with Zennström’s arrival, suggesting a coordinated effort to accelerate the company’s progress. PsiQuantum’s strategy centers on leveraging existing semiconductor manufacturing processes to scale its silicon photonics platform, a departure from many other quantum computing approaches. This
