A computer auditor by training, Andersen was Head of Credit Risk at JP Morgan, Head of Corporate Development at LabMorgan (JP Morgan’s FinTech investment unit) and COO of the Carlyle Group’s European Venture Fund. More recently, Andersen was a director at TRL, a provider of ultra-secure solutions to government. TRL was subsequently sold to L-3, the US Defence Group. 10 years ago, Andersen established Post-Quantum, a start-up working to develop encryption capable of withstanding a quantum attack. As well as completing a trial for their ‘Post-Quantum VPN’ with NATO, Post-Quantum’s submission to NIST’s global competition to identify a new open-source cryptographic standard, Classic McEliece, has progressed to the fourth round for future consideration.
