Samsung names TM Roh as new co-CEO
Samsung Electronics just picked TM Roh as its new co-CEO and head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division, which covers everything from Galaxy phones to TVs and home appliances.
This move brings back Samsung's dual CEO setup after the sudden passing of Han Jong-Hee earlier this year.
The company aims to sharpen Samsung's focus and keep up in a tough global tech race.
Why does this matter?
Roh isn't new to big moves—he's been leading Samsung's Mobile eXperience team since 2020, helping grow the Galaxy brand and pushing into AI-powered phones and foldables.
Thanks to his leadership, mobile revenue hit KRW 114 trillion last year.
With him at the helm, expect more innovation in devices you actually use every day.
Who is TM Roh?
Roh is known for championing foldable phones and launching fresh services like Samsung Health.
He's all about making tech smarter and more connected for users.
His promotion also helps balance leadership between Samsung's consumer gadgets side and its powerful chip business.
Who did he replace?
TM Roh steps in after Han Jong-Hee, who passed away unexpectedly in March 2025.
Restoring the two-CEO system is seen as a way for Samsung to stay steady while moving forward in a fast-changing industry.
