I don't know about that.

It might turn out to be a positive that they have the flexibility to substitute the right person for the job as they progress through each stage of development and delivery.

I don't really see a massive downside other than maybe it goes against the norm and some people may be confused.
Because that strategy totally worked so well for Apple, Blackberry and Microsoft too, right? Unless a company is already on top and doing well, changing CEO's does not instill confidence. We'll see, though.

Well, actually as far as I have observed no matter what happens on the top the real people doing the real job (HW&SW design when looking from my viewpoint) are going to carry on as usual.

Only way the top leadership can affect the inner workings of a company is to fire&hire whole departments, otherwice the train rolls on just like before, some tags and labels change on the middle management but the real work continues just like before.

It is an illusion that management could somehow direct the company, all they can do is present an external image :D

I agree with that, and that is another reason not to change leaders too often. the culture in an organisation is something you cant change easly, and the informal leaders must be convinced and trust the new CEO before any real work can be done..that takes time too

This move clearly ads a new, valuable contact net and professionalism to the company. Jolla is a company in growth.

The new CEO has experience from logistics, and has success as a gründer. Both are things Jolla may capitalize on. They've also gotten some chinese money and Maemo's Ari Jaaksi on board.

It's not like they're getting rid of Dillon, they're "freeing up his time" to work on the products. Which is where he's coming from, he's an engineer.

This means they're climbing the ranks and aiming for a higher division. I wish our company did the same :B

Yeah for small company its way more important CEO can sell the product. My guess is both Marc and the first CEO are top enginners not salespersons. Lets see what happens next. Don't know much about the new CEO. But looks like they have some good persons at the board with some history like Ari Jaakis and Steve Lau. Lets hope...

Just realised it maybe good for small company CEO often(but not TO often).

Cause that gets some extra media attention. Now media has to interview new CEO. Could be some kind of "free marketing" :)

Lets hope..

Once again, I remind you about how AWESOME the free media attention worked out for Blackberry, for example. heh (Answer: Not very well--especially when their new CEO said some dumb things RIGHT after taking over.) Changing CEO's only works as well as the new CEO works.

I don't see how a start-up like this is directly comparable to established & comparatively massive co's like Apple, RIM, MS etc. Have you read the article outlining the entire rationale for change?
I have... It doesn't sound overly drastic or unreasonable, especially for a co. that's still in a phase that's far from having mainstream appeal/mind-share, let alone (even tiny) market-share.*
Just smells like criticism for criticisms sake as far as I can see, if one can trace a ****-up in the future directly to this new CEO, then I guess a argument could be made for "I told you so", but now?

*i.e. it's only just starting to exit pure developmental/prototype phases
