Siemens Mobile has a new boss, after the former
head of sales, Ian Moyes was promoted to the position by the interim
manager, Rudi Lamprecht. Latterly, Rudi Lamprecht was himself acting
head of the division. Ian Moyes will take up his new position as of 1
September. Ian
Moyes was previously head of sales and in this capacity he successfully
reorganized worldwide sales of mobile phones. After sales of Siemens
mobile phones in the first and second quarter of this year remained
roughly the same compared with the previous year, the figure in the
current quarter has risen considerably: manufacturing is operating at
full capacity. "The reorganization of the mobile phone segment and the
product campaign are both paying off: We will once again sell more
mobile phones this year than in the previous year and thus continue our
growth path for the fifth year in a row", says Rudi Lamprecht. Before
Ian Moyes took over worldwide sales, he was managing director of
Siemens mobile in Great Britain, where, within a year, he succeeded in
increasing the market share for Siemens mobile phones from 4 to over 10
percent. Prior to this he managed the service sector of the Enterprise
Networks business, Siemens Communications, in Great Britain for around
5 years. Under his leadership he boosted business in a stagnating
market by 50 percent and tripled profit. Ian Peter Moyes, British, is
47 and has held various marketing and management positions for Siemens
since 1986.
