Speaking with employees about their journey at Samsung made me reflect on my own tenure at the company and how we\u2019ve been able to grow from unknown entity to a market leader.<\/p>\n<p>Our success \u2013 past, present and future \u2013 has been powered by our incredible U.S. employees whose entrepreneurial spirit and collaborative drive reflect exactly what makes America the leading economy in the world. We\u2019ve also developed deep relationships with our retail, carrier and service partners, who have sold and supported our products throughout the country and have helped make us who we are today.<\/p>\n<p>As a company, our belief is that we can only thrive in communities that thrive. Whether it is employees rolling up their sleeves to work with local organizations and help those in need or programs like Samsung Solve for Tomorrow that encourage students to harness the power of STEM \u2013 America is our home and we are committed to building and supporting programs that prepare tomorrow\u2019s leaders and empower our communities to grow.<\/p>\n<p>The relentless customer-centered approach to innovation that has led us to a string of industry \u2018firsts\u2019, and empowered our consumers to do what was previously thought impossible \u2013 to \u201cdo what they can\u2019t.\u201d We have introduced Americans to the digital TV, MP3-capable mobile phone, Blu-Ray DVD player, Smart Curved UHDTV and countless other groundbreaking products, which has ultimately earned our position as the leading electronics company in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, Samsung is a company with a vision. We want to \u201cinspire the world\u201d and \u201ccreate the future.\u201d For a company so focused on the future, it\u2019s important to look back at where we came from. Reflecting on the forty years we\u2019ve spent building this vision in America creates a renewed excitement for what is still ahead of us. I am humbled to be a part of Samsung\u2019s story, proud to celebrate this milestone with our employees, customers and community and look forward to the limitless opportunities ahead of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, in honor of SEA\u2019s 40th anniversary, I had the opportunity to celebrate with employees in our New Jersey headquarters, as well as virtually with our people from across the country.
