HTC Corporation, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced that Mike Woodward has joined as the new president of North America, effective immediately. The role, which is responsible for HTC's sales, marketing and operations for the United States and Canada, reports to Jason Mackenzie, the president of global sales and marketing at HTC.
“With solid business acumen and expertise in product planning, marketing, sales and business development, Mike brings strong leadership and vision to our North America business,” said Mackenzie. “I welcome Mike to HTC, one of the leading smartphone brands in the U.S. and Canada.”
Woodward said, “I have been fortunate to witness first-hand HTC’s leadership in mobile innovation, design and consumer experiences, and am proud to be joining a team known for putting consumers at the center of everything they do. During my career in the rapidly evolving mobile industry, I’ve participated in some of the most significant phone launches across the globe, and I’m glad to combine that experience with the talents and culture of HTC.”
Before joining HTC, Woodward held a succession of positions with AT&T, formerly Cingular and AT&T Wireless, concluding with vice president, consumer wireless device and accessory portfolio. Woodward has also held positions at PacketVideo and Motorola and as an intelligence officer for the U.S. Navy. Woodward has a bachelor of science in business administration from the University of Arizona, an MBA from Chapman University’s George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics, and completed an executive strategic marketing management program at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Woodward is based in HTC’s North American headquarters in Bellevue, Wash.
The latest HTC devices include built-in document management applications that allow for viewing and editing of popular document formats, as well as enhancements to email and calendar functions, Wi-Fi printing and Internet sharing. Core security enhancements have also been added across the entire portfolio. HTCpro features deliver encryption of removable and on-board data using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as well as reliable network connectivity via Cisco AnyConnect virtual private network (VPN) functionality that protects data in transit. End users can manage protection settings directly on the device, and IT managers can use a variety of popular, centralized device management platforms.
Enhanced support of management policies on enterprise messaging platforms makes it possible to implement password policies or lock-out device functions — such as text messaging and Bluetooth usage — that don't comply with company policies. Enterprises that must protect sensitive data can also use native policies to enforce encryption of mobile device storage and remotely wipe data in the event of loss.
A key differentiator of these HTCpro offerings is the standardized nature of HTC devices. While other mobile device manufacturers provide enterprise features and functionality on a device-by-device basis, HTCpro features deliver business-ready capabilities on HTC Sense enabled devices — delivering consistent enterprise enablement for a broad range of business usage.
