HELPING WOMEN EXCEL WITH TECH
Her World Singapore|November 2023
Marketing head Alicia Lim-Rohner of Qualcomm Technologies shares the ways that new technology is changing how the world connects, computes and communicates, as female visionaries drive digital transformation.
HELPING WOMEN EXCEL WITH TECH

Putting the “smart” in smartphones is Qualcomm Technologies, which has been making breakthroughs in 3G, 4G and 5G communications systems to boost robust ecosystems, and enable everyone and everything to be intelligently connected. The company also actively fosters greater diversity, inclusivity and innovation within the technology landscape.

In the earlier days of her career, Alicia Lim-Rohner, Qualcomm’s head of marketing, was part of a primarily male-dominated tech industry. Though she had to grapple with a steep learning curve, she succeeded with hard work and a determination to thrive.

Now, Qualcomm is taking the lead to make a difference in creating equal opportunities for all, and drive advancements in AI and 5G technology to empower working professionals – especially women – to maximise their potential.

We speak to Alicia about how Qualcomm’s innovations and partnerships are creating more opportunities for women to excel in the era of AI.
