Per Bergfors Nyberg is a globally recognised executive and strategic visionary at the intersection of supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. With over two decades of C-suite leadership experience driving the commercialisation of frontier technologies, he has established himself as a central figure in accelerating the transition of quantum and high-performance computing (HPC) from theoretical research to enterprise-scale implementation.

Currently serving as the Chief Commercial Officer at Quantum Machines, Per is at the forefront of building the quantum orchestration platforms that will power the next generation of computational supremacy. His proprietary strategic foresight focuses on how organisations can navigate the complex convergence of classical supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and quantum systems to achieve unprecedented operational advantages. He works closely with government agencies, research laboratories, and Fortune 500 corporations to build sovereign deep tech ecosystems.

Executive Leadership & Frontier Technology Expertise

Per’s career is defined by his ability to bridge the gap between advanced scientific engineering and global enterprise market demands. Prior to his current role, he served as Vice President at D-Wave Systems, the world’s first commercial quantum computing company, where he spearheaded strategic market expansion, commercial ecosystems, and global deployment roadmaps.

Before his transition into the quantum sector, Per spent over 15 years in senior executive roles at Cray Inc., the legendary supercomputing pioneer. As Vice President, he led global commercial strategies encompassing artificial intelligence, cloud integration, and advanced data analytics. He played a pivotal role in expanding Cray’s footprint beyond traditional scientific research into enterprise markets, positioning the company for its successful acquisition by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). His deep understanding of the global HPC ecosystem has made him a trusted advisor on leveraging computational power for geopolitical and economic dominance.
