Motorola Brings In New CFO

Even while battling to save its mobile phones division, Motorola has brought in a new CFO, and oddly enough, CEO Greg Brown chose to look outside the company’s current ranks for the position. Paul Liska, who previously held the title of CFO at Sears, Roebuck, and Co, will step in on March 1 as the new CFO at Motorola. Liska’s last position was as a partner at several private-equity firms, and he will be joining Brown to stave off the proxy fight that Carl Icahn is working up.

Anything that could possibly help Motorola, at this point, is a good thing.
