A bit of an unclear job title, I agree! Apparently it's a broader role than being head of mobile which he was originally approached to do.
My guess is he's in charge of the day to day consumer business.

I wondered if he had been put in charge of the Department populated by highly paid technical boffins who specialise in solving so many issues by solemnly giving that highly advanced advise to.......
