As VP and GM of Motorola's mobile accessory group I had the honor to recruit and retain an outstanding team. When starting in this role, which involved leading a small company within the Mobile division, the business was declining both in revenue and profitability. In less than three years we grew the division from $180M to $1.4B in revenue while significantly increasing margin and EBITDA so that the groups profits accounted for $.03 of Motorola's EPS. This was accomplished by addressing all parts of the business from supplier selection, new component sourcing strategies, product development, break through partnerships with retailers like CPW and RadioShack, innovative marketing, and recruiting the best talent globally. The group launch a series of innovative products across Bluetooth audio, Power, Software, and Automotive that resulted in market leading share in all categories globally.
