Rick Valencia
Health Tech Executive in Rancho Santa Fe, California
I'm a lifelong telecom entrepreneur, turned corporate healthcare intrapreneur, building a business within one of the world's biggest and most successful mobile technology companies. Don't assume that's as easy as it sounds.
I'm the founder and president of Qualcomm Life, Qualcomm's healthcare business. We're advancing the capabilities of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and health services with mobile technologies that improve the lives of patients.
I'm a family man, a health nut and I'm involved in my community. In my spare time I'm committed to mentorship both in the non-profit and for-profit arenas. I'm former chairman and long time board member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County and I'm mentoring several early stage companies and entrepreneurs, directly and through the MIT Forum and the Founder Institute.
