Qualcomm Incorporated announced the appointment of Mark McLaughlin as its chairman of the board, effective August 13, 2019, replacing Jeff Henderson, who had served in that capacity since March 2018. Henderson, the former CFO of Cardinal Health, will remain on the board and continue to chair its Audit Committee.
“Jeff assumed leadership of the board during a period of unparalleled challenges, becoming our first independent chairman and guiding the board through the company’s efforts to resolve significant business issues,” said McLaughlin, the former chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks.
“We are now seeing the dawn of a significant ramp in 5G enabled products and I felt that now seemed like the right time to pass on the baton,” Henderson said. The board will benefit greatly, in this phase of its development, by having a technology industry veteran like Mark as its lens into the company’s business, particularly 5G.”
