Former Mobile Device division President Stu Reed is the latest high-profile executive to leave Motorola, with the vendor announcing his resignation late Friday. The move follows news last week that CEO Greg Brown is looking for a new full-time leader of the division after Brown took control of the company’s handset division, succeeding Reed, last month. Motorola said at the time that Reed would move into another division. Reed’s departure comes less than a year after he had been put in place to turn the company’s handset business around.

Reed’s move adds to a host of recent executive changes at the company. Last week Motorola announced Chief Marketing Officer Kenneth Keller had left the company less than eighteen months after taking the job. In December, Motorola lost its CTO Padmasree Warrior to Cisco Systems, whilst late last year Ed Zander, who had been President and CEO, handed control to Brown. Brown is now attempting to return the mobile unit to profit and halt the slide in market share. The company previously admitted it was considering spinning off its mobile unit, but reports suggest it has had difficulty finding a buyer.
