Co-Founder Stacey Jeffrey featured at the ‘Breaking the Quantum Barrier: Women Leading the Future’ webinar

On March 7, our co-founder Stacey Jeffrey participated at the inaugural “Breaking the Quantum Barrier: Women Leading the Future” panel organised by IBM and the International Telecommunication Union.

Moderated by Sanskriti Deva (IBM), the discussion featured Diya Nair (Girls in Quantum), Sarah Sheldon (IBM), and WIQD co-founder Stacey Jeffrey. The panel explored key topics, including mentorship, the importance of role models, barriers for women in quantum, and the field’s interdisciplinary nature.

Panelists also shared valuable advice for those starting their journey in quantum:
💡 Stacey Jeffrey: “Being confused is an important step toward knowledge. Don’t compare yourself to others, especially those with more experience.”
💡 Diya Nair: “Always stay curious and take risks. The desire to learn drives innovation.”
💡 Sarah Sheldon: “Embrace the challenge. Seek out mentors.”
