Shortly thereafter, Google appointed Dennis Woodside as the subsidiary's new CEO. Woodside has no background in consumer electronics, the mobile industry or engineering. Rather, Woodside is a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who has been with Google since 2003, and oversaw the company's efforts to purchase Motorola Mobility. The job cuts and facility closures are all being made with an eye toward making Motorola a self-sufficient, profitable entity, Google said in the filing, noting that Motorola Mobility "lost money in fourteen of the last sixteen quarters." It's unclear if the decision to make the job cuts came from Woodside and Motorola, or Google and its chief executive, Larry Page. Google has said in the past that it would let Motorola run as a company independent of its richer, more profitable parent. Officials at Google and Motorola were unavailable on Monday to comment beyond the SEC filing, which was first reported on by The Next Web. The moves, of course, won't come without a cost.
