Jan Wäreby new head of Sales and Marketing
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Wäreby to start new role January 1, 2011
* Ericsson Executive Leadership Team unchanged
Jan Wäreby is currently Senior Vice President, head of Business Unit Multimedia
and member of Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC) Executive Leadership team. Wäreby has
more than 20 years of experience in sales organizations and business
development. He was also Corporate Executive Vice President and head of Sales
and Marketing at Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications and played an integral role
in establishing the joint venture.
Hans Vestberg, President and CEO of Ericsson, says: "Jan's experience from
growing business in new areas combined with customer and consumer understanding
will be instrumental in driving our business in the next decade."
Earlier this year Ericsson introduced a new brand and go-to-market model based
on ten regions. Vestberg continues: "Now it is time to take the next step in the
company transformation and focus on further development of our sales and
marketing to more efficiently support regions in meeting customers' needs."
Wäreby says: "My priority will be to serve our customers with better speed and
simplicity. We will achieve that with a more efficient approach to selling our
broader portfolio, which requires continued transformation of the sales force
and focus on company-wide marketing efforts. In addition, applying common
practices and business models will allow us to reuse, share and build competence
in both existing and new business areas. These steps will enable us to reach our
growth ambitions."
The search for Jan Wäreby's replacement has started and a new head of Business
Unit Multimedia will be announced separately.
