On July 30, Motorola announced some major changes to the company’s leadership. The official announcement indicates quite the bit of shuffling, with a major player in the Moto G and Moto E’s launch.

Motorola published the announcement to their official blog, and with it offered a few details for the positions that will be filled, as well as those who will be filling them. First, the placing of Charlie Tritschler, who will now be Motorola’s Senior Vice President of Product Management. That means Tritschler will now oversee all of Motorola’s product development, marketing and ecommerce efforts. Tritschler was a driving force behind the launches of Motorola’s Moto E and Moto G.

Motorola is also focusing on the global outreach, with a focus on regional leaders. With that, they’ve announced that the aforementioned leaders will sit on Motorola’s senior leadership team:

  • Jeff Miller, Corporate Vice President, North America and Global GTM Operations
  • Sergio Buniac, CVP, Latin America
  • Magnus Ahlqvist, CVP, EMEA and APAC
  • From the official announcement:

    We’re in a very exciting time at Motorola Mobility. Our recent devices are delivering unprecedented value to consumers and have had a great reception in the market, with Moto G officially the best selling smartphone in our history. Moto E is meeting with similar enthusiasm, selling out in India on its first day and gaining notice as a true game changer in the industry. We shipped 8.6 million devices in the second quarter, up 130% from last year’s Q2 and more than 30% from last quarter.

    With Lenovo’s purchase of Motorola nearly complete, a shuffling of leadership like this isn’t too surprising. You can read the full announcement through the source link below.
