I’ve been incredibly fortunate to spend my career working for great companies with outstanding people. Qualcomm is a company that drove the development and evolution of the smartphone, “the largest technology platform in history.” I work with some of the smartest people in the tech industry and we have the ability to make a true impact on the world. The thread that runs throughout my career is creative and powerful storytelling and brand building. Finding the meaningful, impactful, authentic and ideally human way to craft and share a story about a company, product or person is what I do. This work is exciting and extremely rewarding. I’ve also had professional opportunities to lead a variety of start-ups. Creating a business, brand and team (from scratch) is a kick. I’m honored to be a part of the leadership team here at Qualcomm at a pivotal time in the most exciting industry in the world.
