Dr. Paul E. Jacobs is chief executive officer of QUALCOMM Incorporated and is also a member of the Company's board of directors. Dr. Jacobs has been the primary driver of QUALCOMM's focus on enabling wireless data services, which make the cellphone a tool not only for voice communications, but also the most personal device for entertainment, computing and information access.
Following completion of his Ph.D. in 1989 and a year as a post-doctoral researcher at a French government lab in Toulouse, Dr. Jacobs joined the company fulltime in 1990 as a development engineer leading the cellphone digital signal processor software team. His early work focused on the initial variable-rate 8 kbps speech codec for CDMA. Following this effort, Dr. Jacobs spearheaded the wireline-quality 13 kbps speech codec effort, which became CDMA's initial differentiating consumer feature. The core engineering team involved in this effort would later be integral to the development of QUALCOMM's Launchpad™ suite of functions and capabilities that ship as software with every QUALCOMM chipset. As an innovative leader of a broad range of technical teams within QUALCOMM, Dr. Jacobs has also been granted more than 25 patents for his inventions in the area of wireless technology.
