Sanjay Jha won’t be the only executive leaving Motorola after it has been acquired by Google, with several other folks leaving as well. Among the folks following Jha’s footsteps are strategy chief John Bucher, Senior VP Alain Mutricy, supply chain head Mike Fleming, chief marketer Bill Ogle, HR head Scott Crum, operating chief Juergen Stark, CFO Marc Rothman and enterprise unit head Christy Wyatt.
As we’ve previously learned, Motorola Mobility will get a more focused strategy, the one that will include “fewer, but bigger launches.”
Although job cuts aren’t explicitly mentioned, that new strategy will most likely include a number of layoffs, with fewer products usually standing for fewer people.
Also unclear is the fate of Moto’s TV products unit which makes set-top boxes. Some of these could be used for Google TV, while others may be cancelled. Or the whole unit could be sold if the right buyer is found…
We’ll make sure to keep up with all the news involving Google and Motorola and get back to you as soon as we hear something interesting. Stay tuned in the meantime, k?
