Introduction: A Quantum Physicist's Path to Finance
At 61, Sahba Hadipour's career trajectory reads like a fascinating novel. From quantum physics to wealth management, his journey exemplifies the unexpected ways a scientific background can lead to innovation in finance.
The Quantum Leap: From Cold War Defense to Financial Technology
Hadipour's career began in the UK as a quantum physicist during the Cold War. He worked on the US Strategic Defense Initiative, nicknamed "Star Wars," using proton beams to detect decoy nuclear warheads.
"I started life in the UK as a quantum physicist, right? This was during the Cold War years of Soviet Union and the United States. I was on the US part, Strategic Defense Initiative, Star Wars. And I was looking at detection of decoy nuclear warheads using proton beams, something very spooky."
His journey then took him through software development, sales, and consulting. He worked with companies like Lotus and became the head of global consulting practice for Software Spectrum, a billion-dollar NASDAQ-quoted company.
