Staff Promote Announcement

At Nova, we don’t just build the future — we grow the leaders who are going to shape it.

After five incredible years leading breakthrough work in our quantum computing division — including hitting an industry-first 99.9% qubit stability — we’re beyond excited to announce that Sarah Chen is being promoted to Chief Technology Officer.

Sarah truly lives our core value: "Leap where others iterate." Her bold vision is already helping us fast-track our roadmap by 18 months.

I remember Sarah's first day. She spotted a flaw in our error correction code that even our PhDs had missed — and I knew right then: she was something special.

Five promotions in five years — from Intern to Engineer, to Lead, Director, VP… and now, CTO. She’s the only person to ever outrun our promotion cycle.

So from all of us here at Nova — congratulations Sarah! We’re proud, we’re inspired, and we can’t wait to shape the future with you at the helm.
