Who We Are
Leadership

Billions, maybe trillions of times a day…

We often do what many thought was impossible.
 

That’s how often people around the world touch something made better by Qualcomm. It could be the smartphone in your pocket, the tablet on your coffee table, that wireless modem in your briefcase… it could even be that navigation system in your car or that action camera strapped to your chest.

Who is Qualcomm, and what do we do? We are engineers, scientists and business strategists. We are from many different countries and speak many different languages. We come from diverse cultures and have unique perspectives. Together, we focus on a single goal—we invent breakthrough technologies that transform how the world connects, computes, and communicates.

 

"We’re fascinated by technology and always working to push it forward. Our job is to be impatient. That’s our role in the industry, and our future.”

Steve Mollenkopf, CEO

Pioneers, risk takers.

While many of our breakthroughs reside “under the hood” of technology familiar to us today, our inventions have transformed the world in a big way. They have helped propel mobile to the forefront of the technology world and brought wireless innovations into new industries. They have created new opportunities for ecosystem players—the wireless device makers, the operators, the developers and the content creators of the world. And more recently, our inventions and breakthroughs have inspired fresh, new ideas from those companies—large and small.

We’ve been called dreamers, inventors, rebels, risk takers, pioneers and geeks. We embrace those labels because in many ways, they’re true. We dream big. We invent bigger. And most importantly, we often do what many thought was impossible.
