Sir Howard Stringer is a busy man. Currently holding the Chairman, CEO
and President titles at Sony, the man's in charge of one of the
vastest empires in the history of vastness, which is probably why the
company's now said to be looking for someone to succeed him at one of
those posts. Bloomberg's reporting that Sony is having internal
discussions about appointing a new President, with Kaz Hirai and
Hiroshi Yoshioka identified as the names at the top of the pile. The
pair are currently responsible for handling one half each of Sony's
broad consumer electronics portfolio and it's notable that the
Japanese giant seems to be looking for its next great leader from the
hardware side of the business. If this speculation does bear fruit,
expect the next President to deputize Stringer in the short-term and
to eventually succeed him as top banana when the current ruler decides
to hang up his cornflower-blue tie.
