“LTE has accelerated faster than most people had anticipated. It really took off very quickly from the time it was introduced. We did have our internal development road map, but we just needed to accelerate it.”

“I'm a perfectionist. And that's served me very well in my career. It allows me to handle these large, complex problems without letting things fall through the cracks... That is the mentality you have to have to attack these complex problems of chip design, for example, when you're overwhelmed with complexity.”

“Chips will continue to shrink, of course. We, along with other semiconductor companies, are continuing to push toward the next goal of 10 nm, but going beyond 10 nm will require the development of new technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes that are still being perfected.”

“I don't know if anybody thought about how much impact the iPhone could have on society.”

“Don't make career choices on short-term financial gain. Job satisfaction and career enjoyment are far more important.”

“We are happy to get great technology from anywhere, and we have eyes and ears that are checking out companies all over.”

“We need to get smarter about hardware and software innovation in order to get the most value from the emerging Internet of Things.”

“I don't try to try to judge people on performance in one short period of time.”

“The owner's job is to hire the general manager. The general manager's job is to run the hockey team.”

“For me, it's almost a 24/7 process. It's not like I only think when I'm in the office sitting at my desk.”

“Anytime you put a challenge out there, people come up with a creative solution on the software side.”

“A team may have some great players, but typically, the team that works best together does the best. I look at running Broadcom in the same way. We have a culture where people have different skill sets, but they are happy to leverage their skills to help others and to help the company.”

“You can't create a mass market if you don't have a common standard.”

“The big advancement in our BCM7445 home gateway chip is that it uses the next-generation compression technology called HEVC - High-Efficiency Video Coding.”

“Innovators are developing the ideas and bringing them to life in amazing new applications. All we, as an industry, need to do now is focus on standardizing the interfaces to ensure interoperability - and stand out of the way.”
