Telephony specialist Brightstar has restructured its senior management team in a move that will see UK MD Tanny Price promoted to a European marketing role. Former Brightstar European sales director Richard Turner will take on Price's UK position with immediate effect. The distributor has also appointed Ulrich Bach-Anderson from arch rival Brightpoint as European new business development director, with a focus on smartphones. Meanwhile, Valerie Prince, who was previously at Alcatel for 22 years, will take on Turner's previous role of European sales director. All four will report to Brightstar Europe president Rod Millar. Brightstar entered the UK three years ago and since then has gone into Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands (source : Mobile Today United Kingdom).
