SAN DIEGO, Calif. (April 14, 2005) — Qualcomm Inc. announced today that Joan Waltman has been appointed president of the company’s Wireless Business Solutions, the division that provides mobile communications, tracking and business software for truck fleets.
Waltman replaces Chris Wolfe who is retiring.
Waltman said she is an electrical engineer by training and has been with Qualcomm for 15 years. She began her Qualcomm career working on the company’s CDMA (Code Division Mutiple Access) wireless technology, now employed by Sprint PCS and Verizon in North America and other companies worldwide.
Waltman also oversaw development and deployment of GlobalTRACS equipment management solution, upgrades and new applications for the OmniTRACS mobile communications system and launch of the T2 Untethered TrailerTRACS asset management solution.
The new president also told Truckinginfo.com that she will be working on the next generation of Qualcomm’s flagship OmniTRACS system expected to be introduced next year.
Chris Wolfe said he will work with Waltman through August in a consulting capacity.
Qualcomm distributes its products in Canada through Cancom Tracking, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.
