HP has announced that they’ve taken on Richard Gerstein as the new SVP of the Personal Systems Group (PSG), the division of HP that include Palm when the buyout goes through.
Gerstein comes to HP after a few years in a similar position at Sears, before which he was in charge of marketing for Alberto Culver and also worked for Procter & Gamble.
We’ve not saying that this is absolutely a sign that HP is preparing to fix up Palm’s up-to-now woefully underfunded marketing once the buyout goes through, since apparently the position needed to be filled regardless. If nothing else – we’re just saying it behooves webOS aficionados to get familiar with HP and their team in the PSG.
