Sony Ericsson’s Russia office has a new general director. Starting from yesterday, October 1st, this post was taken by Craig Steyn Jacobs, who “brings a wealth of international management experience in consumer goods and paper industry.”
What’s interesting about this is that the guy doesn’t come from the IT industry nor telecommunications. Rather, he proved himself as head of Mondi Business Paper Sales CIS. During his tenure, the company’s turnover was increased that much that Russia is now most important office for Mondi Business Paper as a whole.
Prior to joining Mondi Business Paper CIS, Craig held various positions in a number of units of Coca-Cola Russia.
Mr. Jacobs supersedes Paul Zentrih, who decided to left the company after spending half a year in the Russian office and 8 years in Sony Ericsson as a whole.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
