Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC Corp has named current CFO Chialin Chang as global head of sales, according to a statement released by the company on Monday.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid waning fortunes for the once-dominant phone maker. In the most recent quarter, HTC posted its first-ever quarterly loss, while earlier this month it reported its 25th consecutive month of declining year-on-year sales.<\/p>\n

The company also saw a wave of executive departures earlier in the year and is undergoing structural changes in response to slumping revenue.<\/p>\n

Chang had been involved in sales previously and the move aims to consolidate operations, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Chang will also remain CFO “until the time a transition of responsibilities makes sense”, the statement said.<\/p>\n
