Goldstar: Personnel Change in Management

Howard Cubberly, who has headed the team as General Manager over the last ten years, is leaving the company. Heather Smartt, who has been working in the industry for 18 years and was previously head of global product development at Goldstar, assumes the new management role.

Over the past ten years, Howard Cubberly was considerably responsible for Goldstar’s growth and development. Numerous distinctions, the development of new product categories, expansion into North America and Europe as well as the introduction of the Simplicity® concept are attributable to him. “Thanks to his outstanding leadership style, we have achieved numerous milestones within the company, successfully survived the pandemic that struck in 2020 together, and consolidated Goldstar’s market-leading position,” Goldstar announces in a statement, paying particular tribute to Cubberly’s “efforts towards a great team-focused environment, a vibrant brand and his entrepreneurial spirit.”

Heather Smartt is looking forward to “continuing the great work Howard has done during his time at Goldstar. We are standing on a firm basis,” reports the General Manager. Heather Smartt intends to optimise services and continue to strengthen social and ecological consciousness throughout the company. Her concern is a smooth and seamless transition. In addition, she will continue to occupy her hitherto role in product development, in order to advance expansion of the overall business portfolio. www.simplygoldstar.com
