Paul Vincent Galvin (June 29, 1895 – November 5, 1959) was one of the two founders of telecommunications company Motorola.
Founded as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation on September 25, 1928, Motorola became a leader in communications equipment.
Galvin invented the mass production car radio, which provided the cornerstone of Motorola's early business.
The company name "Motorola" was introduced in 1930.
A little known fact was that Paul Galvin fired the engineer who designed the car radio, Howard Walker, for not following the original design, which was twice the size, but when Galvin released the car radio he used the engineer's smaller design.
