Finke’s career in the tech industry spans over 30 years, during which he has been instrumental in driving the growth of many new technologies. His role as the Chief Operating Officer at IntelliSense, a startup company that was eventually sold for a valuation of $750 million, highlights his acumen in business development and his ability to navigate the complex landscape of high-tech startups.
As Vice-President of Marketing and Business Development at the semiconductor startup ChipWrights, Finke was crucial in raising $25 million in venture capital funding. His experience also includes significant tenures at major firms like IBM, Intel, and HGST/Western Digital, where he contributed to various aspects of technology development and market strategy.
Finke holds degrees in computer engineering from the University of Illinois and management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His educational background, combining technical expertise with business strategy, equips him with a deep understanding of the intersection between technology innovation and market dynamics.
At the IQT Vancouver/Pacific Rim Conference, Doug Finke is expected to provide valuable insights into the quantum industry’s business landscape, with his work at Global Quantum Intelligence and the Quantum Computing Report as examples.
