Mark Thienpont has spent nearly three decades applying data and technology to solve real business problems, where theory meets outcomes, and innovation delivers impact. With a background in physical engineering and a career in IT and advanced analytics, Mark’s move into quantum computing felt like coming full circle: returning to his physics roots to shape the future of computation.

As a quantum optimisation lead at Delaware, he focuses on bringing quantum theory to life through hands-on experimentation. His sessions are designed for decision-makers and practitioners alike, especially those facing challenges in logistics, scheduling, and complex resource allocation.

Outside the lab or lecture hall, Mark is a multi-instrumentalist who’s busked on the streets and brought creative flair to the bands he’s played in. If he weren’t in tech, he’d be redesigning democracy, advocating for community-based governance models built on collective intelligence.

Scroll on to explore his topics, formats, and why Mark’s the speaker to call when you want to bridge complex tech with business-ready results.
