BlackBerry appoints new head of mobile business

BlackBerry has hired Ron Louks, a former Sony Ericsson executive, to head its loss-making devices business.

Struggling smartphone maker BlackBerry has hired Ron Louks, a former Sony Ericssonexecutive, to head its loss-making devices business, a job needing a heavy dose of salesmanship to win back companies and consumers lured away by larger rivals. 

Ron Louks took the position of president of devices and emerging solutions, BlackBerry said in a statement on Monday. 

It said Louks was joining from OpenNMS Group, where he had served as chief executive officer. He had previously worked as head of strategy for HTC's American unit and as head of technology at Sony Ericsson, a joint venture later bought out by Sony. 

BlackBerry was a smartphone pioneer, but has lost most of the market to Apple's iPhone and devices using Google's Android technology. The Canadian company has since shifted its focus from the consumer market to serving businesses, governments and other large organizations.
