Motorola

In June 2006 TTP Com became a wholly owned subsidiary of one of its major customers Motorola. Motorola supply 25% of mobile handsets of which the mass market product team supplied 80 million handsets in 2007.

I am currently  Senior Director responsible for supplying mobile handset platforms delivering features required for mass market phones in Asia, EMEA, South America and the USA. I lead a global team distributed in Cambridge UK, Denmark, Brazil, Russia, India, Taiwan, Korea and China supported by 2 ODM’s in Taiwan.

 

Key achievements

 

Building a team capable of managing the transition from component supplier to complete product delivery within an organisation in crisis.

Creating and bringing to market an application platform which enables the major applications and components to be swapped and allows UI flexibility without rewriting software

Separating the software feature and hardware dependency without a Fat OS component so that Mid and low tier handsets can be refreshed and changed to meet market requirements at lower costs enabling 20-30% margins to be sustained.

Enabling the range of global handset requirements of both sophisticated  markets such as T- Mobile US alongside emerging market requirements from China Unicom and retail markets within the same platform on an ARM 7chipset  with a mass market e-BOM

Successfully Integrating  TTPCom into Motorola’s process and operational methodology and meeting the needs of stakeholders within the Motorola organisation.

Separating the product and platform activities of a new mass market platform and delivering handsets within 12 months of the platform delivery

Transitioning the organisation from being a component supplier to delivering full handset loads extending our footprint and increasing our leverage 

Taking over responsibility for handset product software from the ODMs changing the dynamic of the product  cost.
