James Chapman VP and GM of Music and Wearables at Qualcomm - Voicebot Podcast Ep 181

James Chapman is VP and GM of music and wearables at Qualcomm,
which means he oversees both hearables and smart watches.
Qualcomm is a driving force behind the chips that make each
subsequent hearable generation more powerful and more
power-efficient. 


Chapman arrived at Qualcomm in 2015 as part of the $2.4 billion
CSR acquisition where he oversaw 400 engineers and later led the
company's auto, CE, and IoT segments. Before CSR, Chapman spent
many years in engineering and product roles at Broadcom. Since
arriving at Qualcomm, among other accomplishments, Chapman
oversaw the rollout of the QCC1541 chip which is the workhorse of
the true wireless earbuds market today. He earned a PhD in
condensed particle physics from Oxford and has an MBA from Henley
Business School.
