Podcast | Making the Energy Transition Bankable – with Alyse Mauro Mason and Geneviève Piché

In our latest edition of Board Perspectives, our conversation focuses on the challenge of guiding companies through an energy transition that requires significant capital, stronger risk governance, and early pathways to generating cash flow. As global supply chains shift and critical minerals grow more essential, directors must keep competitiveness front and center in...
In our latest edition of Board Perspectives, our conversation focuses on the challenge of guiding companies through an energy transition that requires significant capital, stronger risk governance, and early pathways to generating cash flow. As global supply chains shift and critical minerals grow more essential, directors must keep competitiveness front and center in an increasingly interconnected economy.
Let’s look to 2026 and recap a pivotal 2025 with Paul Terry, CEO of Photonic. Explore why the industry has officially moved past the era of noisy qubits into the race for fault-tolerant, "gold-standard" logical qubits. Paul joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to break down Photonic’s selection for DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Stage B and explains how their unique distributed architecture — which uses…
Traffic congestion isn't just a daily annoyance; it’s a multi-billion dollar drain on the global economy. In this episode, we explore a concrete, real-world application of quantum computing that aims to solve this problem today. Tal David, Co-founder and CEO of Quantum Art, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the company’s major new partnership with Ayalon Highways in Israel. Tal breaks down how they are…
In this episode of Risky Women Radio, Christine Lowthian, head of regulatory compliance at HSBC, shares insights on her career journey and the importance of seizing opportunities and building a supportive network. She highlights her experience leading global teams, particularly in commercial banking and the U.S., and the challenges of managing multicultural teams. Lowthian stresses the role of technology,…
We cover post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regularly on this show, focusing on the new math-based ciphers that will secure the Internet as quantum computing becomes more powerful. But what about physics-based encryption or quantum key distribution (QKD)? Is that still a thing? We examine how exploiting the laws of quantum physics can securely exchange encryption keys over a fiber and explore the benefits of the newer…
The word “foundry” might make you think of large machines pouring metal into molds, but Argonne National Labs has a Quantum Foundry that implants individual atoms, like silicon, into materials such as diamond. The resulting spin qubits are optically active and can use photons to communicate. We can expect spin qubits to help interconnect systems, which could help us achieve distributed quantum computing, but they…
How are recent quantum computing breakthroughs reshaping business, competition, and society itself? What global challenges might quantum and AI either help with or introduce? We’re trying something a little different and asking a futurist and bestselling author of The Quantum Economy to weigh in on how our increasing qubit counts might all play out in a few years. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-…
You’ve likely heard of Pareto’s Principle or the 80/20 rule. Is there a way to achieve most of the benefits of crypto-agility with minimal effort? Palo Alto Networks has undoubtedly made its mark with firewalls and security detection and response offerings. We learn how they can also provide a rapid head start to PQC migration, covering everything from cryptographic inventory to creating wrappers for legacy app…
Can you put a quantum computer in a satellite, car, or even laptop? It’s possible with diamond-based quantum technologies that work at room temperature. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits challenge the notion that quantum computing is confined to massive data centers. Such mass-deployable quantum computers and sensors can be used in medical diagnostics, satellite imaging, and anywhere local inference is useful.…
On September 10th, 2025 the "CMMC Final Rule" was published in CFR48. After about seven years of starts and stops, determining Level classifications, the number of controls and compliance needed, CMMC certification is now set to be in certain DOD contracts starting November 10th. Cost of compliance has varied greatly, but when dealing with FCI and CUI data, this certification will protect that data through the…
