Certificate Board Leadership Program on Quantum and AI

Quantum Oaks Advisory at Unbuilt Labs offers the first and leading certificate program to help boards navigate quantum. Our program prioritizes quantum literacy and cross-disciplinary coordination in high stakes environments. Each course includes a reading exercise where you practice assessing new information on emerging technologies, and a board simulation where you will evaluate proposals with other experts. This program offers a robust understanding of the challenges board members confront in quantum: its access, its risks, and social impact. Bring your expertise and develop a personal framework to assess quantum technologies’ use cases and viability for your organization.

Testimonials — Extraordinary leaders like yourself are ready for Quantum and Frontier AI. We empower both experienced and emerging board leaders.

  • Annemarie Straathof, Independent Board Director at BNP Paribas; Member of the Supervisory Board and Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee at FMO: Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank

    "Quantum Oaks Advisory managed to achieve exactly the right balance between sketching the scene of where the new emerging technology of Quantum Computing is right now, with the right level of science terminology (i.e. what a Board member should know or at least recognize), and the strategic and risk versus opportunity perspectives that Board members should take and focus their questions on. The practical break-out sessions were very useful for hands-on learning."

  • Mary Francia, Board Member and INSEAD International Directors Network Ambassador for The Americas

    "Useful entry point for boards to engage with AI and quantum without getting lost in the technical detail. It helps move the conversation toward how these technologies begin to shape decisions—often before boards fully see it.

    Understanding where structural weaknesses exist today that may create risk tomorrow was particularly valuable, alongside a clear view of the underlying technology."

  • Kateryna Halstead, former Google Public Policy Fellow

    "I loved getting a masterclass in the C-suite and board room mindset. Beyond technical specs, I saw incredible value in sharpening my ability to translate complex, cutting-edge topics like quantum computing and advanced AI into corporate frameworks that fit directly into the executive decision-making matrix. Reviewing fascinating case studies and running our own simulations gave us deep insight into how boardrooms actually evaluate systemic pros/cons of new deployments and realize new value-creation opportunities. Translating frontier tech into the language of governance, strategy, and risk mitigation gets you in front of the decision-makers!"

  • Mona Lehtinen, Chief Information Specialist, National Library of Finland at the University of Helsinki

    “This was an excellent learning experience and a great chance to discuss an important topic that is both interesting and current. The thought-provoking and engaging course widened my perspective, and I gained insights that will surely be helpful later on. Thank you!”

  • Tongshan Liu, DPhil student in nanomaterials at the University of Oxford

    "Well-organised program! Appreciate the opportunity to learn and connect with everyone." 

  • Stephanie Olexa, MBA, Ph.D., Board Member and former Adjunct Professor

    "Challenging concepts that were well presented with a mix of theory and application. Thank you for offering this program!"
