- SlyShy 10y agoMarwan Fawaz used to run Motorola Home. It didn't really have much to do with "Home" in the sense of Nest though.
- hkmurakami 10y agoWell TV Set Top Boxes are in the same bucket of "home appliances" for me.
- Splendor 10y agoSomeone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was CEO for Motorola's Home division at some point.
- netinstructions 10y ago> Mr. Fadell will be succeeded by Marwan Fawaz, a former executive vice president of Motorola Mobility > In the troubled Motorola acquisition, Mr. Fawaz led a financial bright spot, Motorola Home, a television set-top box business. He pared its product line, cut costs and oversaw its sale in 2013 for $2.35 billion to the Arris Group, a cable television equipment maker.

- rrrx3 10y agoseems like we can reasonably expect him to come in swinging the axe again, then.
- kwisatzh 10y agoHe was an advisor for an analytics startup I used to work for. Really unimaginative and uninspiring. Zero vision. I was very surprised how he was appointed as an advisor (and got a good chunk of equity).
