Qorvo’s IDP president recognized with Tech Titans Award
Qorvo Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA (which provides core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense applications) says that James Klein, president of Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP), has been recognized with the Technology Association of North Texas’ Tech Titans Award. Tech Titans recognizes individuals in North Texas currently transforming the high-tech industry for the greater good.
Headquartered in Richardson, Texas, Qorvo’s IDP business has a significant presence in North Texas, with three facilities that manufacture up to 80 million semiconductor components per week.
Under Klein's leadership, Qorvo’s IDP revenue grew by double digits for 13 consecutive quarters as it expanded into diverse, high-growth markets. Currently, IDP serves large markets including wireless connectivity, broadband, aerospace, defense, the Internet of Things (IoT) and, most recently, programmable power management through the acquisition of Active-Semi International Inc of Dallas, TX, USA. Klein helped to establish Qorvo’s technology and product leadership in gallium nitride (GaN), expanding its use from defense radar and electronic warfare to commercial markets including 5G base stations and broadband cable networks.
Qorvo has added more than 1200 jobs to the Dallas area. “James’ strategic leadership of Qorvo’s IDP business unit is a model for other businesses in the Texas area and beyond,” comments Tech Titans’ president & CEO Bill Sproull.
