Profil
Dr. Xavier is a seasoned technology executive, with over 13 years of specialized radio frequency (RF) and baseband design expertise with companies such as National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Philips, and LSI Logic.
Dr. Xavier is currently the founder, CEO and President at Quorum Systems, a San Diego-based start-up developing multi-mode RF devices for next generation cellular handsets.
Prior to launching Quorum, Dr. Xavier founded InnoCOMM Wireless, a fabless semiconductor company specializing in wireless access ICs in February 1998, and was responsible for business development, engineering, finance and sales.
He generated over $7M of sales for InnoCOMM, and funded some of the company’s operating expenses.
During his tenure, Dr. Xavier initiated and developed strategic alliances with several large and small companies and negotiated all contracts and business deals, including the Series A and B financing rounds.
Dr. Xavier grew the InnoCOMM team from its initial three-person team to a total of fifty-eight employees, developing the largest RF IC team outside of Qualcomm in San Diego.
Dr. Xavier navigated the negotiation of the $130M acquisition of InnoCOMM by National Semiconductor, who outbid several other corporate suitors.
Upon acquisition, Dr. Xavier assumed the role of Director of Wireless Data at National Semiconductor.
In this new role, he managed several satellite design teams in Sweden, Scotland, Santa Clara, Germany and San Diego.
Dr. Xavier received his PhD in microwave circuits from Brunel University in the UK.
He has published some thirty papers in radio frequency IC design and is currently serving on the technical program committee of the MTT-S RFIC conference.
