Samsung has announced that 54-year-old Dongjin Koh has been appointed as the new president of the company’s mobile communications unit. He was previously the head of the tech giant’s mobile research and development division.
He takes over from 59-year-old J.K. Shin who has been in charge since 2011 and will remain head of the overall mobile division for Samsung Electronics and focus on long-term strategy and developing new growth businesses.
The change is hoped to help the company battle challenges it currently faces in their diminishing market share caused by its rivals.
