Qualcomm taps former Amp’d chief Bill Stone to head FLO TV

Fri, Jan 30, 2009

Bill Stone has already had one tough job thrust upon him when he was named CEO of the troubled Amp’d Mobile, and Qualcomm seems to think that he’s the guy to handle another pretty difficult task, with the company recently naming him president of FLO TV, not to mention senior vice president of Qualcomm. Stone, who’s currently the CEO of mobile software firm Handango, will be replacing Gina Lombardi, who had been heading up Qualcomm’s mobile TV initiatives for the past three years, and will apparently be staying on with Qualcomm in some other, unspecified capacity. No word on what the move means for Handango, but Stone will officially be taking the reins at FLO TV on February 2nd.
