“Under Najmi’s leadership we have redefined our North American strategy, built operational excellence and strengthened our total presence considerably in this very important market. We are sad to see him leave Sony Ericsson after more than three successful years, but at the same time we wish him all the best for his future.”

This is the statement of Sony Ericsson’s CEO, Dick Komiyama, regarding the resignation of Najmi Jarwala, head of Sony Ericsson USA. Jarwala would be leaving the company as of the end of March. Meanwhile, Anders Runevad, Executive Vice President of Sony Ericsson and Head of Global Sales & Marketing, would be taking over control of Sony Ericsson USA until Jarwala’s successor is found.
