Birgit Ahlborn, Vice President of Marketing & Communications, NXP Semiconductors
Have you ever wondered how so many functions can fit in a thing as small as a smart phone, wearable, or thermostat? How vehicles have managed to become robots on wheels within just a few years? Why devices can seamlessly connect – offering more services while using less power? And what protects our privacy in the middle of all of this? The secret behind all that is chip innovation – and this has been Birgit’s passion and focus over the past twenty years of her work life. Never a dull moment throughout her career in the high tech and semiconductor industries with Basler Vision Technologies, Philips, and NXP Semiconductors. Based out of Hamburg, Germany, Birgit manages the global marketing and communications team of semiconductor company, NXP Semiconductors, headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, across Automotive, Industrial, and Consumer electronics applications.
