Samsung replaces its smartphone chief
Samsung Mobile’s top execs held on for a while during the company’s troubled time with smartphones, but it’s apparently been long enough. JK Shin, in addition to another co-CEO, (Samsung’s exec lineup is a… multi-layered one), will withdraw from daily operations, replaced by DJ Koh, a mobile exec who previously oversaw Samsung’s barely-nascent Tizen mobile OS and Samsung Pay — neither of which are international success stories (yet?). At the same time, Samsung’s head of TVs and home appliances, BK Yoon, is being moved on to focus on “long-term strategy”.
