Samsung Electronics hired Mercedes-Benz China’s chief design officer Hubert Lee (pictured), who worked for the carmaker for more than 20 years, to lead its Mobile eXperience (MX) design team.

In a statement, Samsung noted Lee will serve as EVP and head of the MX design unit, which is responsible for creating Galaxy products, including the S and Z Series, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy watch.

Lee stated Samsung is known for building “some of the world’s most beautiful products with designs that have transformed the mobile industry.”

In December 2021, the company merged its IT and Mobile Communications and Consumer Electronics groups and changed the name of its mobile division to MX.
