LG Replaces the Head of Its Struggling Mobile Business After Just One Year

Jon Russell, reporting for TechCrunch:

Hwang Jeong-hwan took the job as president of LG Mobile Communications last October, and this week LG announced that he will be replaced by Brian Kwon, who is head of LG’s hugely profitable home entertainment business, from December 1.

“Mr. Kwon played a critical role in transforming LG’s TV, audio and PC business into category leaders and his knowledge and experience in the global marketplace will be instrumental in continuing LG’s mobile operations turnaround,” LG wrote in an announcement.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a phone from LG worth noticing. Tough gig.
