Lenovo is looking to branch out and today announced that it will be establishing a new business unit called the Mobile Internet and Digital Home Business Group (MIDH).
The new MIDH group will be responsible for creating new mobile internet devices like tablets, smartphones,
and "Smart TVs". It will also work on new device categories for Lenovo including cloud computing, smart TVs, and the digital home products. In addition to the hardware inside of things, the new business arm will also be responsible for developing software and apps for the next generation convergence devices.
“Lenovo recognizes the tremendous growth potential of the mobile internet, as well as that of new categories like cloud computing and smart TV, and so we are putting the focus and investments in place to fully capitalize on these opportunities to drive growth in our business today and for many years to come,” said Yang Yuanqing, chief executive officer, Lenovo.
“The Mobile Internet and Digital Home Business Group will help us leverage our leadership in the PC arena to create a rich portfolio of Internet-centric devices. At the same time, we’ll use our creativity, innovation and technical prowess to help our customers navigate the future of personal technology worldwide.”
Liu Jun, the former senior vice president and president of Lenovo Product Group, will head the new division. He will work from the Chinese HQ for Lenovo and will be replaced in his former position by Peter Hortensius who formerly headed the Think Product Group.
