Former HTC Execs Set Up Kazam

Two former HTC execs have launched their own smartphone manufacturer, Kazam.

Michael Coombes, formerly head of sales at HTC, and James Atkins, former head of marketing, resigned their positions earlier this year. The company has opened its first office in London, with Coombes as CEO and Atkins and CMO.

Impressively, Kazam says it will launch its first range of smartphones later this year.

“We believe your smartphone is a digital reflection of who you are, and since we are all different, it’s important that we don’t adopt a one-size-fits-all approach,” said Coombes. “Kazam’s dynamic structure and focus on local markets means we can react quickly to the ever evolving and diverging needs of today’s consumer. We aim to provide quality smartphones that are accessible to everyone.”
