Eduardo Conrado and I met up at the MarketingProfs conference at the beginning of October.
Conrado is the vice-president of Global Business and Technology Marketing & Communications for Motorola. His role encompasses three of Motorola's four primary businesses with revenues of over $17 billion: Home & Networks Mobility, Government & Public Safety, and Enterprise Mobility.
As global marketing VP, Eduardo controls the marketing for all of Motorola's enterprise B2B products worldwide.

I also wanted to learn which Web 2.0 tactics are working for his teams around the globe.

He also leads both internal and external communications, including employee communications, public relations, and industry analyst relations.
