Punit Soni steps down as senior product manager at Motorola
Punit Soni, Motorola senior product manager, has stepped down from his post, sharing a farewell note and thanks via his Google+ page today. Soni joined Motorola two years ago, shortly after the company’s acquisition by Google, and was central to reshaping its approach to mobile devices.
Soni had a hand in developing the Moto X and Moto G, two devices that signaled a shift in Motorola’s business strategy and helped to rescue the Chicago-based wireless firm from its decline as one of the major players in the mobile industry. He was particularly proud of his work on the Moto G, and shared that his favorite moment as part of the company was when he had the opportunity to introduce the budget-friendly handset to a live audience in Brazil (the phone went on to become Motorola’s best-selling smartphone, and we are quite fond of its recent update).
Soni has not made public what he plans to pursue now that he has left Motorola. We’d be willing to bet he will land somewhere in the mobile space.
