Mar. 30, 2005 — Qualcomm Inc. announced the appointment of an executive management team for the newly formed Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm.

The Company also announced a strategic relationship with Prime View International to support its strategy of increasing the capability of consumer-targeted mobile products. Qualcomm MEMS Technology was formed following Qualcomm’s acquisition of Iridigm Display Corp. in September 2004, according to a company news release.

Since the Iridigm acquisition, Qualcomm appointed Greg Heinzinger, a 10-year Qualcomm veteran, as senior vice president and general manager to lead the MEMS subsidiary.

John Batey, vice president and assistant general manager, will help lead the group and will oversee its development facility in Campbell, Calif. Before joining Qualcomm, Batey was chief operating office of Iridigm. Kin Yuen Ng, vice president of operations, will lead worldwide operations, currently located in Taiwan.
