Chalk up another executive departure for Motorola. The embattled handset manufacturer has seen more than its fair share of executive defections of late, and it doesn’t look like things are getting any better.
With new handset division CEO Sanjay Jha taking the reigns of the company’s cellphone arm, things were expected to take a turn for the better. And following on the company’s slight profit earlier this year, Motorola was expected to finally see the light of day in the mobile phone manufacturing business.
Alas, another executive has jumped off the Good Ship Moto. Rob Shaddock, chief of Motorola’s handset division’s consumer product group, has officially ended his four-month old tenure as head of the consumer products group. You read that right, Shaddock has only been on the job for a quarter and has already given up hope on the company. And, to make matters worse, Motorola has bumped up John Cipolla to the newly vacant position – which means we’ll likely be seeing more of the same from Motorola. Not good.
