OH Kwon to step down as Samsung Electronics CEO

October 13, 2017 By anish Leave a Comment

OH Kwon

Hot on the heels of Samsung announcing earnings guidance for the last quarter, Samsung Electronics also confirmed that its co-CEO OH Kwon has resigned from his position where he was heading the Device Solutions Business. Kwon will also resign as the CEO of Samsung Display and will not seek re-election as a member of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board when his term ends in March, 2018.

Although Kwon’s retirement seems like a planned one, he does point out in his memo to all the employees that there is an “unprecedented crisis inside out” and a serious need of a new “young leadership” that can respond better to rapidly changing IT industry.

Kwon joined Samsung 32 years ago in 1985 as a researcher of Semiconductor Research Institute in the United States. He also served as president and head of the System LSI Division and as president and head of the Semiconductor Business before becoming CEO of the company in 2012. He also has served as the CEO of Samsung Display since 2016.
