SAN FRANCISCO — Derek Aberle, president of Qualcomm Inc. and longtime leader of its technology licensing business, will resign at the end of 2017 after 17 years with the fabless chip firm, Qualcomm said.

As part of the transition plan, Alex Rogers, who has served as president of Qualcomm's technology licensing division, QTL, since 2016, will report directly to Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf.
