Newton

Samsung has looked internally to fill the hole left by the departure of its top marketer Arno Lenior in April naming Phillip Newton as its new chief marketing officer.

The electronics giant had said it was reviewing its marketing department after Lenior’s departure. Newton has been with the company in Australia for seven years, for the last three as vide president of consumer electronics.

His previous roles include as managing director of BenQ Australia and nearly 20 years with Mitsubishi Electric as an executive director.
