Microsoft has named two new executives for its unit that oversees software for handheld computers, mobile phones and embedded devices. The Redmond, Wash. company rehired former employee Suzan DelBene to oversee marketing for its handheld and mobile phone software business. DelBene, who had worked in the Windows and Internet Explorer groups, left Microsoft in 1998 to become an executive at Drugstore.com. Most recently, she was CEO of Seattle-based software start-up Nimble Technology, which was acquired by Actuate in a deal announced in July 2003.
