Palm insiders have told about a major (and, in some cases, much needed) purge for about two years – it looks like this is now reaching higher and higher levels of the company. After Donna Dubinsky went, HTC’s Paul Ghent was headhunted over according to the UK-based and well-informed magazine MobileToday:
purge Palm: staff rochades continue

Paul Ghent was HTC’s “consumer sales head”, and led the company from success to success – at Palm’s, he will act as the sales vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

I personally am delighted to see Palm hire somebody who has proven to be of value at other companies – the only thing which leaves me dumbfounded is why neither Palm nor HTC have released a press release on this topic…

  1. Just wondering – what does “rochades” mean? I have no idea, and a Google search did not help.

  2. New word for today :)

    This is what I found: http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/Rochade

    Rochade f , -, -n (Chess) castling, (Ftbl) switch-over, change of position (fig) switch
    die kleine or kurze/große or lange Rochade castling king’s side/queen’s side

  3. Hi,
    sorry to have caused confusion!

    A rochade is a (repeated) swaparound…
