Portrait of Dr Ozioma (Paul) Edo

Optimisation specialist, researcher & author

Dr Ozioma (Paul) Edo

Dr Ozioma (Paul) Edo recently completed her PhD in Business & Management at Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, and works as a Solutions Architect II – Optimisation at D-Wave, at the intersection of optimisation and quantum computing.

Her career spans academia, industry, consulting, and international development, with experience at the University of Oxford, World Bank Group, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG, and others. She remains passionate about teaching, mentoring, and supporting other researchers.

Her book, Becoming Dr Oz, shares lessons on resilience, networking, asking for help, and navigating the unexpected turns that come with pursuing ambitious goals — and why the relationships we build can matter as much as the work itself.

“We are building the kind of structure we wanted around our own important goals: honest, consistent, encouraging, and clear.”
