The design chief from HTC, Jonah Becker who oversaw the development of the new HTC One M9, has called it quits.
Jonah Becker, associate vice president of industrial design from HTC, announced on his Twitter on Thursday that he has left the company. He did not reveal what his future plans were, but he did ask his followers to stay tuned for more information. Becker had been working for HTC for less than a year. He replaced Scott Croyle in April of 2014.
This isn’t the only change that HTC is going through, just last week the company revealed that chairwoman and co-founder Cher Want was going to replace CEO Peter Chou. Chou isn’t leaving for good, as he will remain on board to help develop new products for HTC.
Becker was the person in charge of overseeing the development of a plethora of products, including the company’s recently released flagship, the HTC One M9 smartphone.
The HTC One M9 received rave reviews and the only negative criticism was the fact that it was hardy distinguishable in terms of design from its predecessor.
Becker and HTC have both announced that they were looking forwards to a new adventure, but the reason why Becker chose to leave HTC is unknown and it is probably going to remain that way.
HTC was quick to announce that it has replaced Becker with creative director Daniel Hundt.
HTC is beginning to branch out with a wide range of gadgets, including the HTC Vive VR headset and the HTC Grip fitness band.
