Miles Flint, President of Sony Ericsson, Steps Down

There's a shuffle going on over at Sony Ericsson: The president with the action hero name, Miles Flint, is ceding his position to Hideki 'Dick' Komiyama, formerly Sony Electronics US Chairman of the Board.... The 54 year old Flint started at Sony way back in 1991 and took over Sony Ericsson three years ago. Good luck with whatever you do after your "short career break", Miles, and remember what Jerome K Jerome said about your home town of Maidenhead: It is the town of showy hotels, patronised chiefly by dudes and ballet girls.

Flint steps down in November, but will stick around in the London office until December while Dick learns the ropes.

Sounds awesome.
