Derek Aberle, former President of Qualcomm, has joined the iLumOS Advisory Board.
His addition comes as Lumenci builds on the launch of iLumOS earlier this year and expands its network of partner firms and advisors.
Aberle spent nearly two decades at Qualcomm, serving as President from 2014 through 2018. He led the company's technology and intellectual property licensing business, growing it into one of the largest licensing operations globally.
He is currently Co-founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Virewirx, Inc., a board director at InterDigital, and a Venture Partner with Stormbreaker Ventures.
Why Derek Aberle Joined iLumOS
“Patent owners have historically had to make important portfolio and monetization decisions with fragmented data, lengthy analysis cycles, and significant upfront effort. What attracted me to Lumenci and its iLumOS is the opportunity to combine AI with the practical expertise required to make that intelligence useful. Lumenci has spent years working directly on complex patent and licensing matters, and iLumOS brings that experience into a platform that can help organizations identify value faster, focus resources on the right assets, and make better-informed IP decisions. I’m excited to work with Harish and the team as they build this next generation of patent intelligence infrastructure.”

What He Brings to iLumOS
“Derek brings a rare combination of technology leadership, licensing experience, and a deep understanding of how intellectual property creates enterprise value. As we build iLumOS into the operating system for patent intelligence, we want to surround the platform with people who have helped shape the IP industry at the highest level. Derek’s perspective will be invaluable as we expand iLumOS and pursue our broader vision of helping make patent assets more transparent, actionable, and investable.”
