LG head of mobile Andrew Coughlin leaves company as smartphone future remains uncertain

Industry insiders note that the company has no intention of replacing the departing Coughlin

Former LG head of mobile Andrew Coughlin has reportedly left the company as the vendor’s future in mobile remains uncertain.

According to industry sources, the Korean consumer electronics company offered Coughlin a redundancy package which was accepted last month.

This comes after CEO Kwon Bong-seok sent out an internal message to staff hinting that the Korean vendor would be exiting the smartphone market.

Insiders have noted that Coughlin will not be replaced and Mobile News has reached out to Coughlin for comment.
