Samsung Mobile CTO, Omar Khan Leaves For CitiGroup

Omar Khan, Samsung Mobile CTO has just left Samsung for CitiGroup. Khan was at the forefront of Samsung Mobile’s entire move into Android from the Behold II to the Samsung Galaxy SII and everything in between and on the way. Khan has also been very media friendly throughout his time at Samsung Mobile.


He sent an email to his good friend which confrims that he left Samsung for CitiGroup:

Hello Kyle,

Hope you are doing well.  I wanted to let you know that I have decided to leave Samsung Mobile.  I have really enjoyed working with you over the past few years representing Samsung Mobile and the mobile industry.  Kim Titus and the Samsung PR team are best-in-class and will continue to work with you very closely.  Additionally, Nick Dicarlo and Gavin Kim will be assuming most of the product and service spokesperson responsibilities for Samsung Mobile.  I will continue to have a close relationship with Samsung and look forward to following your coverage of its future successes.

I will be joining Citigroup next week where I will be leading their mobile solutions on a global basis.  I look forward to connecting and working with you in the future as I work with the Citi team to build the world’s premier digital bank.

Best Regards,

Omar

Surely this is a lost for Samsung but past is the past and now a different team will be guiding something to a better future
