Zander to be replaced by Brown as Motorola CEO

by Evan Blass, posted Nov 30th 2007 at 8:59AM

Motorola announced today that Ed Zander will be relinquishing the role of Chief Executive Officer in January 2008, a title he will have held for four years. Greg Brown, current President and Chief Operating Officer, will take over as CEO, while Zander will remain Chairman of the Board of Directors until at least May of next year. Zander, who came to Moto from Sun Microsystems, will perhaps best be remembered for overseeing the company during its RAZR-led handset revival.

More likely he'll be remembered for coming on after the RAZR was already baked, and then driving an iconic American company into the ground. Thanks Ed.
