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.
