TREE NEWS update: Lenovo Group has appointed Amar Babu, currently senior vice president and president of Asia Pacific, as general manager of its Mobile Business Group and global president of Motorola, effective January 1, 2027. Babu will report to Luca Rossi, executive vice president and president of the Intelligent Devices Group, and will oversee Motorola’s global business, driving premium smartphones and the personal AI and smart device ecosystem.
Lenovo Names Amar Babu as Motorola Global President
The significance here is less about Motorola's day-to-day than about where Lenovo sees future growth: the brief explicitly ties the role to premium smartphones and a personal AI and smart-device ecosystem. Handing the global mandate to a leader with Asia Pacific experience signals that region's weight in that push. The open question is how the premium and AI-device strategy is executed globally after the transition takes effect.
