HTC’s VP of Industrial Design, Jonah Becker, has left the company less than a year after he was promoted to that position 

Becker became the VP of Design at HTC after Scott Croyle left the company last year.

Scott Croyle, Jonah Becker and Claude Zellweger were among the chief designers from One & Co — a design company that HTC had acquired back in 2008. Becker will be succeeded by Creative Director Daniel Hundt.

It's been an amazing seventeen year journey with One & Co and HTC, but it's time for a new adventure. Stay tuned for details of what's next.

Below is the statement that HTC sent to Engadget on this matter.

We can confirm that Jonah Becker has left HTC; he had been with the Company since HTC acquired One & Co over six years ago. We would like to thank Jonah for his work with HTC, and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. He has been succeeded by Daniel Hundt, based in our San Francisco design office.

It was only last week that HTC’s CEO Peter Chou was replaced by Chairwoman Cher Wang.
