He is the author of Quantum Business Impact, a definitive executive guide to navigating the shift from the NISQ era to early logical qubits, hybrid AI–quantum workflows and the global transition toward post-quantum security. His second book, Origin²: The Age of Intent, examines the civilizational threshold humanity now faces as artificial minds, genetic engineering and ecological limits converge. At its centre is the Ascension Equation, a framework describing how societies progress toward coherence or collapse under accelerating complexity.

Professionally, Jonathan has led commercial strategy across the quantum ecosystem, including superconducting quantum-computing platforms, annealing systems and the cryogenic and readout technologies that underpin next-generation processors. He has also worked extensively with generative and agentic AI architectures, as well as decentralised Web3 systems, giving him an integrated perspective on how intelligence, computation and value networks will evolve. His career includes senior roles at D-Wave, IBM Watson, Tableau, Aible and Silent Waves, combining technical fluency with enterprise go-to-market execution.

Jonathan has delivered hundreds of expert consultations to corporates, investors and government bodies on quantum readiness, PQC migration, supply-chain constraints, AI–HPC–quantum convergence, Web3 strategy and the economics of deep-tech scale-up.

Jonathan’s entrepreneurial work includes the bestselling Freesourcing: How to start a business with no money and 100 All-Time Essentials for Entrepreneurs, which offer practical frameworks for building resilient, resource-efficient businesses. These books reflect his broader philosophy: that innovation and growth come not from complexity or capital, but from clarity, discipline and the ability to execute with limited resources.

He demonstrates this philosophy in practice through ventures such as his data-driven soft drinks startup, where he applied analytical design, insight-led development and lean execution to bring a consumer brand to market which he sold 4 years later.

On podcasts, he is known for translating complex scientific and technological shifts into clear, actionable insight. He speaks candidly about the race to fault tolerance, the real timelines of emerging technologies, the governance challenges of artificial intelligence, the evolution of decentralised systems and the choices that will determine whether humanity builds a resilient planetary civilization or fails to meet its moment.

Outside of work, Jonathan is driven by the same curiosity that shapes his professional life. He’s an avid skier, runner and open-water swimmer and can usually be found exploring mountain trails with his dogs. His personal interests span technology, physics and philosophy, and he draws inspiration from the outdoors and from the energy of family life with his three sons and his partner.

Jonathan is a compelling guest for shows focused on technology, future society, leadership, AI ethics, quantum computing, Web3, deep-tech investing and the long-term trajectory of human progress.
