In April 2024, John Prisco, a seasoned executive with a 30-year track record of driving revenue growth, achieving operational excellence, and guiding companies to successful exits, will speak at IQT The Hague in the Netherlands. Prisco’s extensive experience in telecommunications, cybersecurity, and quantum physics, along with his position as President and CEO of Safe Quantum Inc., make him an authoritative voice on the future of secure key exchange and encryption in the era of quantum computing.
Prisco’s career has spanned various high-tech fields, beginning with the founding of Penn Access, a competitive local access carrier in Pittsburgh. His role as President and CEO of Safe Quantum Inc., made him a pioneer in packet-based communication, further establishing his credentials in the telecommunications industry. His leadership at eLink Communications and Ridgeway Systems & Software demonstrated his ability to navigate and innovate within the cybersecurity space.
Perhaps most notably, Prisco’s tenure as CEO of Quantum Xchange showcased his foresight in recognizing the potential of quantum technologies to revolutionize secure communications. His consulting work for Toshiba in Japan, Europe, and the United States represents a continuation of his efforts to promote quantum key distribution and quantum internet technologies, highlighting his commitment to advancing quantum security solutions.
