Moto CEO is already out I read earlier today. That is a good sign of a ship that is ready to sink.
Previous company's CEO anyway has no significant role if his organization is merged into another one. Merging and acquisition is about unifying strategies and workforce. Moto CEO wouldn't have resigned if he wasn't concerned with his own career, rather than his company's.
 
Assuming Lenovo had stated that they would keep Moto independent, the CEO of this subsidiary is going to play an important role in keeping whatever relevancy Motorola has gained with the X and G.Dennis Woodside was a Googler before becoming the CEO of Motorola Mobility. From what I remember he himself went to Larry Page asking for a challenge which was to make Motorola cool again. And he succeeded in doing so. He was not a leftover from Motorola Mobility. He was a Googler from 2003. And he left Motorola not to go back to Google but Dropbox. Dropbox. So from what I see, the deal was probably made inspite of his views. And he decided that there was no other choice but to move on. If the deal was done with his involvement, we would not have seen him leave even before the deal was complete.
