Motorola CTO to step down too

Warrior, who had appointed CTO since 2003, according to Motorola spokeswoman, Jennifer Erickson, the move was planned several months ago. Her official blog has already being shut down.
Her position will be replaced by individual CTOs for each of Motorola’s businesses who will continue in their respective roles, and Rich Nottenburg, Motorola’s chief strategy officer, will become responsible for Motorola’s overall leadership.
Last week, Gartner reported that Motorola’s share of the mobile phone market dropped to 13 percent, down from 21 percent last year. Gartner also said Motorola lost its position as number two among phone makers to Samsung.
