Executive Overview

I lead Qualcomm’s Mobile, Compute, XR, Voice & Music, and Wearables businesses—delivering premium platforms that power smartphones, PCs, tablets, XR devices, wearables, and audio products. Across all of these, we’re driving the next wave of intelligent experiences with on-device AI. From advanced camera and gaming to custom CPU and AI cores, our Snapdragon platforms are built to lead at the intelligent edge. I’m responsible for P&Ls, product and software strategy, customer and ecosystem engagement, and execution across all Snapdragon verticals. Since joining Qualcomm in 2002, I’ve helped scale Snapdragon from feature phones to 5G smartphones, compute, and immersive platforms. With 35+ years in wireless and multimedia systems, I’ve led teams building full-stack silicon and software solutions that define connected experiences. UC San Diego alum, BSEE with a focus in semiconductor physics.
