Sarah Ampe brings clarity, humour and deep expertise to one of the most complex and critical challenges of the quantum era: cryptographic readiness. With a background in secure digital identity, public key infrastructure and cryptographic modernisation, Sarah has supported both public and private sector organisations in preparing for post-quantum security.

She is actively involved in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness initiatives and leads the Quantum Circle newsletter, helping the community stay on top of the latest developments in quantum technology and digital trust.

When she’s not decoding cryptographic infrastructure, you’ll find her running, knitting, crocheting or planning her next creative project. If she weren’t working in tech, she’d be designing extravagant dresses for historical costume dramas. Her technical insights are matched by a curious mind and a grounded sense of fun.

Whether you’re preparing your organisation for the quantum shift or looking to demystify post-quantum security, Sarah is a speaker who brings the topic to life.
