Sanjay Jha,
Chairman & CEO,
Motorola Mobility
Since joining Motorola in 2008, Sanjay Jha has been instrumental in the creation of Motorola Mobility, having been a driving force behind the turnaround of the Mobile Devices business and its subsequent combination with the Home business. The turnaround enabled Motorola to spin off Motorola Mobility on January 4, 2011 as an independent, publicly-traded company.
Going forward, Jha has articulated a vision that Motorola Mobility will serve a dynamic marketplace characterized by the convergence of mobility, media, consumer computing and the Internet. He is focussed on spearheading the company's innovation and industry leadership across the mobile devices and digital home technology sectors. To meet emerging needs within the market, Jha has instilled the need for Motorola Mobility to focus on product superiority while leading development and differentiation of the Android smartphone platform, simplifying the company's silicon strategy, and reducing time to market.
Previously, Jha served as chief operating officer of Qualcomm Inc., where he oversaw corporate research and development and Qualcomm Flarion Technologies. He also served as President of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, a chipset and software division.
Jha holds a doctorate degree in electronics and electrical engineering from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. He received a Bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Liverpool in England.
