14 DAY TRIAL // Few have ever heard of the punitive measures that Google has written down for those who do it wrong, and mentioning the Google Phone when it was a hush-hush project is probably something that would fall under that category. The result? Isabel Aguilera, the CEO of Google Spain and Portugal, is on her way out of the company's ranks.
She lasted in that position for almost two years, after taking up state on the 1st of March, 2006, and in the meantime "Elizabeth has made a significant contribution to our business in Spain, increasing our base of partners and customers, as well as helping to spread the message of the potential of the Internet among Spanish companies. Their march I regret and I would like to wish him all the best in the future", according to Google's regional director for Southern Europe, Mr. Carduner. In case you don't quite understand, this is an automated translation made by Google Translate of the article "Isabel Aguilera abandona la direcci?n de Google Espa?a y Portugal" that appeared on ElPais.com.
The position will be filled, until the naming of a successor, by an internal managerial position exec whose name has not been made public. The selection processes for such a big job are extraordinarily long and complex, for example, the place of Bernardo Hernandez, who has left the Marketing chief position of the Iberic branch last September to bring the "global leadership of geo positioning at the Mountain View headquarters", has still not been occupied.
Google denies that Aguilera's demise has anything to do with the indiscretion concerning the Gphone, but since the story was published in March, "the executive was in second place in the formal presentations of the company, while still playing institutional acts", as the same translated version of the article notes.
