Daniela Herrmann – The quantum age has begun

21. October 2026 – Katharina Schlangenotto

“Quantum computing is the greatest technological disruption of our time—and it’s already a reality.” – Why Daniela Herrmann is the voice that companies urgently need right now

There are technologies that people talk about. And there are technologies that are reshaping the world—quietly but inexorably—while most are still debating whether they’re relevant.

Quantum computing is one of them. And Daniela Herrmann is one of the few people worldwide who doesn’t just talk about it, but who builds and applies this technology every day, putting it into the hands of companies, researchers, and institutions.

“We accept these awards and nominations with great gratitude—they help us advance our mission even faster: to make quantum computing mainstream and accessible to everyone.”

A statement that shows what really matters to her. Not technology for technology’s sake. But technology as a tool for a better world.

Daniela Herrmann – From Financial Markets to the Quantum Revolution

Daniela Herrmann isn’t a career changer jumping on the bandwagon. She brings more than 25 years of leadership experience from the finance, investment, and technology sectors—a background that gives her something pure technology experts rarely have: she consistently approaches quantum computing from the perspective of economic outcomes. Not from the lab. From the market.

She studied economics at the University of St. Gallen and earned her MBA from the University of Zurich—two institutions renowned for strategic thinking at the highest level. Then came the move that changed everything: co-founding Dynex, the world’s first accessible neuromorphic quantum computing cloud for real-world industrial problem-solving.

Today, she is CEO and Head of Global Leadership at Dynex, as well as Mission Leader of Dynex Moonshots—the strategic, investment, and ethical steward of the Dynex ecosystem.

The thesis that changes everything

In many corporate strategies, quantum computing appears as a topic for the future—relevant at some point, somehow. Daniela Herrmann clears up this misconception.

“We believe that neuromorphic quantum computing will surpass classical quantum computing—but we must ensure that it is accessible to all researchers and organizations so that it can reach ist full potential.”

And on an even more fundamental level: For her, access to innovation is a human right. Not a privilege reserved for a select few corporations, but something that must be democratized— “so that everyone can experiment with greater complexities and arrive at solutions more quickly.”

This isn’t just an ethical stance. It’s a business model: Dynex offers Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS)—accessible, scalable, cloud-based, and qubit-agnostic. From logistics and healthcare to climate modeling and fintech trading.

Daniela Herrmann performs on the world’s biggest stages

Daniela Herrmann doesn’t appear at niche conferences. She takes the stage where global course ss et.

At LEAP 2025 in Saudi Arabia—one of the world’s largest technology conferences—she delivered the keynote address “Quantum: The Next Megacycle in Computing” and demonstrated how Dynex solves real-world industrial problems using approximately one million algorithmic qubits. At the CC Forum Zurich 2025 at the legendary Dolder Grand, she spoke to global investors and innovators about quantum computing as a catalyst for sustainable transformation. At the Lead on Purpose NYC CEO Summit, she presented to the world’s leading business thought leaders. At the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum 2026, she discussed how AI and quantum computing are reshaping the architecture of the financial industry. She was also a featured speaker at the Web Summit in Lisbon as well as at the Techsauce Global Summit in Bangkok—Southeast Asia’s leading technology conference.

In addition, she has given interviews to CNBC Arabia, Cointelegraph, and The Founder Daily—and participated in a joint discussion with an Oxford quantum cryptographer about Google’s breakthroughs in encryption.

Ethics as a Foundation—Not Just a Fig Leaf

What sets Daniela Herrmann apart from many female tech visionaries is her consistent integration of innovation and ethical responsibility. Dynex Moonshots has established an Ethics Committee comprising seven globally recognized experts who review every relevant application of the technology for ethical integrity.

“Together, we’re demonstrating that quantum technology can empower healthcare systems to use data responsibly—while simultaneously advancing patient care and scientific discovery.”

For her, this is not a contradiction to profitability. It is a prerequisite for it.

Dynex was nominated for the SXSW Innovation Award in the “WTF: What the Future” category. Daniela Herrmann herself was nominated for the WomenTech Network Global Award in the “Women-Led Startup in Tech of the Year” category.

Who is Daniela Herrmann the right speaker for?

Her keynote speeches are most effective wherever executives want to understand what quantum computing means for their company today—not in ten years. For board members and C-suite executives who want to know where the next wave of technological disruption is headed. For investors and innovation leaders who need to evaluate long-term deep-tech initiatives. And for anyone looking for a voice that brings together technology, business, and ethical responsibility in a way that yields not just a vision of the future—but a plan of action.

Daniela Herrmann makes one thing very clear: The quantum age has begun.

The question is no longer “if”—but “who’s on board.”
