Sanjay Jha has been named as Co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of it’s handset division which is expected to be split off as a separate public company in a year.

Greg Brown, who’s been Motorola’s CEO since Ed Zander left last year, is now co-CEO of the company, and will continue to lead Motorola’s infrastructure businesses, which include wireless network gear and cable set-top boxes.

Sanjay Jha, 45, was the chief operating officer of Qualcomm where he managed the Corporate Research and Development and QUALCOMM Flarion Technologies.

Sanjay Jha holds a Ph.D. in electronic and electrical engineering from the University of Strathclyde, Scotland and had received his bachelor of science degree in engineering from the University of Liverpool, England.

Based on Motorola’s decision to go with a tech-heavy candidate, the handset unit looks like it will be concentrating heavily on technology—that is, more advanced features—to compete in the market.
