Jonah Becker, former chief designer for HTC, has taken a new job designing products for Fitbit, where he'll still be competing with Apple and Samsung with wearable fitness products. Jonah Becker, the executive most responsible for the look of the HTC One M9, will bring his skills to Fitbit. Becker announced his departure from HTC last week.

He will serves as vice president of industrial design -- a newly created position at Fitbit -- and will report to CEO James Park. Becker had only been at HTC for less than two years when Becker announced last week, that he was leaving the company. He had replaced Scott Croyle, who had held the chief designer position before him.

At HTC, Becker was associate vice president of industrial design, where he oversaw the development of devices including the company's recently unveiled HTC One M9 smartphone.
