Unfortunately the once second-placed phone manufacturer seems to have started an unstoppable fall, as according to the preliminary report from April, LG is overtaking the company at its last bastion, the American market. Ed Zander, CEO, has handed in his notice to quit in December. His position has been taken over by Greg Brown in January, who became the leader of split Motorola's mobile phone department. Later on Casey Keller, CMO, Stu Reed, head of the mobile unit, and treasurer Steve Strobel have also left, who are now followed by Rich Nottenburg, chief strategy and technology officer. According to Jennifer Erickson spokeswoman's announcement Rich is returning to his family in New York, where he wants to face new challenges.
