Another Motorola departure: Stu Reed

A mere month after newly installed CEO Greg Brown pushed him aside to take over the mobile division at Motorola himself, Stu Reed has left the troubled company. Reed's departure comes a few short days after chief marketing officer Ken Keller resigned his post [1]. Reed's exit is just the latest executive turnover since CEO Ed Zander [2] and CTO Padmasree Warrior [3] left the company last December.

Reed took over the mobile devices unit last July, but the division lost $1.2 billion in sales last year. The unit's margins also slipped last year and the company is now in third place behind Nokia and Samsung in terms of marketshare worldwide.
