"Motorola has tapped former-Qualcomm COO Sanjay Jha to run its Mobile Devices business, which has suffered six straight quarters of slumping sales.
The move comes less than five months after Motorola said it would split into two separate companies fueled by increasingly poor performance by its Mobile Devices business.
According to the Schaumberg, Ill.-based communications vendor, the board of directors on Monday named Jha as co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of its Mobile Devices Business, effective immediately.
In his new role, Jha will oversee all aspects of Motorola's Mobile Devices business, which accounts for about 41 percent of Motorola's overall revenue, and report to the board.
Greg Brown, CEO of Motorola since January, will also serve as co-CEO and has been named CEO of Motorola's Broadband Mobility Solutions business, which consists of Home and Networks Mobility and Enterprise Mobility Solutions. Motorola said that Brown and Jha will share responsibility as Motorola transitions from one company to two independent, publicly traded entities. "
