About

Senior semiconductor leader with 25+ years of experience delivering complex SoC and IP products across mobile, SerDes, high-performance computing, and automotive domains. I have led silicon programs end-to-end — from early definition and architecture alignment through tape-out, silicon bring-up, and productization — consistently enabling first-time-right silicon under aggressive market schedules. Currently part of Qualcomm’s PMO leadership, I work closely with engineering heads and executive leadership to drive predictable execution across Design, Verification, Physical Design, DFT, Packaging, Test, Software, and Product Engineering teams. I am known for operating effectively in ambiguous environments, driving risk to closure, and enabling data-driven trade-offs aligned with business priorities. Previously, I have built and scaled engineering organizations, led multi-protocol SerDes PHY and SoC programs across advanced nodes, and partnered with Tier-1 customers during both pre- and post-silicon phases. My leadership style blends deep technical credibility, disciplined execution, and clear executive communication — with a strong focus on building high-performance teams and sustainable delivery engines. 📌 Areas of focus: SoC & IP Leadership | Silicon Program Execution | PMO | First-Time-Right Silicon | Low Power | Advanced Nodes | Global Team Leadership
