Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Prior to taking the job she was Alcatel's senior vice president of marketing, communications and channel management, North America and before that had been executive vice president of Probe Research, a market research company specialising in telecommunications, IP and wireless.
She told iTWire that leaving the company had been a difficult decision but, it would have been impossible to continue. "I need to be based out of my home in Northern California, and Alcatel-Lucent in the US is headquartered in New Jersey."
Ben Verwaayen, the former head of BT, was appointed CEO of Alcatel-Lucent globally at the beginning of September and this week the company announced a new global leadership team, claiming it to be "a nice blend of leaders coming from outside the company, new talents from inside the company and existing senior leaders."
Verwaayen had earlier re-organised the company into three regions: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and APAC. These will now be headed by: Robert Vrij, president Americas; Adolfo Hernandez, president Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Etienne Fouques, president APAC.
The company also named the heads of three new organisations: Kenneth Frank, president Solutions and Marketing; Janet Davidson, president Quality and Customer Care; and Michel Rahier, president Operations.
Also, four new groups have been formed to "reflect the company's focus on open innovation led by Bell Labs, state-of-the-art product and software innovation as well as its continued momentum in services and enterprise markets."
These are : the Carrier Product Group, headed by Philippe Kerye; the President (Andy Williams); the Applications Software Group (Paul Segre - who will remain president and CEO of Genesys) Enterprise Product Group (Tom Burns)
All will be part of the company's management committee together with Claire Pedini (Human Resources); Hubert de Pesquidoux (CFO) and Jeong Kim (president Bell Labs).
