NEW YORK Sony Ericsson’s vp and head of marketing Dee Dutta will resign at the end of the month, after six years with the company.

News about the impending departure was disclosed March 25, on the eve of the first match at the 2008 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, a sponsorship that Dutta was instrumental in brokering. Dutta did not specify reasons for his departure.

“I am very proud of the achievements that my team and I have made in growing the brand and look forward to the next challenge in my career,” he said in a statement.

Dutta joined the London-based joint venture between Japan’s electronics giant Sony and Sweden’s Ericsson as global head of brand and communications in June 2002.
