“We’re delighted to welcome Kellie to the GRF family,” says Ryan Pratt, founder and CEO of Guerrilla RF. “Kellie brings over 35 years of experience to the company, with an incredible blend of business and technical acumen focused within the RF/microwave semiconductor space. She has led multiple product divisions throughout her storied career, developing truly dominant product lines along the way. Her extensive background in business development will be leveraged heavily as we continue to accelerate our plans for aggressive revenue growth.”
Chong most recently served as the Director of Qorvo’s Broadband Access product line where she drove the division’s P&L commitments through focused business development, market positioning, and strategic planning. She has a strong reputation for delivering results and growing market share, and her efforts were instrumental in Qorvo achieving its dominant position within the broadband infrastructure market.
Chong brings a unique perspective to the company, blending technical and business expertise as part of her leadership skillset. She originally entered the semiconductor industry as an integrated circuits (IC) design engineer, creating a variety of RF and microwave devices along the way. Chong joined RFMD (which later became Qorvo) in 1992 as one of the company’s very first design engineers. She quickly advanced within its technical ranks, eventually managing a global team consisting of applications, design and product engineering. Her leadership skills were later harnessed for product line management, and she led teams which focused on GPS development, RF filter technology, and broadband infrastructure.
Chong holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University, and a certificate in Executive Business Management from the University of North Carolina – Greensboro.
