Samsung has made some restructuring in the leadership team in India. The move comes from the South Korean electronic giant as part of its global reorganisation plan.
Samsung has relocated BD Park, managing director of Samsung India and president of South West Asia operations to Korea. Park, who has been in India since past six years is also longest senior executive of Samsung to be in India. He will now become a global business head. Samsung Electronics Latin America president HyunChil Hong is now taking over as MD of Samsung India. He will be the new president of the Southwest Asia regional headquarters. Samsung India’s deputy MD Ravinder Zutshi is retiring from the company by end of this month
The company recently elevated Indian engineer Pranav Mistry as vice president of global operations. He was earlier the vice president of R&D and head of think tank team based in the US. Yesterday, Samsung appointed former Nokia VP Conor Pierce as its new Vice President for mobile and IT in the UK & Ireland. Last month, a WSJ report stated that Samsung is moving mobile boss J.K. Shin out of the mobile division and replacing him with B.K. Yoon, who currently oversees Samsung’s home appliance and television divisions.
