Palm Software Exec Heads to Twitter
Posted in: palm, Smart Devices, Smartphones, Today's Chili, twitter
Word hit the wires several days ago that Michael Abbott, Palm’s senior vice president of software and services, and the head of its much-hyped webOS effort, is leaving the company.
It turns out that he’s already secured a new position: at Twitter.
Abbott will take on the role of vice president of engineering at the popular micro-blogging service company, reports FierceMobileContent. In turn, the current VP of engineering, Greg Pass, will be promoted to chief technology officer.
Palm is already hard at work on an employee retention program for its executives, including equity awards and cash bonuses, in order to prevent further key losses after its stunted comeback attempt in the wireless industry.
