Obviously since he started working for Samsung in August. He was working in Intel previously. His work is with Samsung. His personal preference is an Apple device. Why should he change it?
It is not mandatory for any employee to must use Samsung phone. His job is to ensure Samsung makes even more money. What he likes in his personal life is his choice.
What he said isn't wrong. Samsung is more of a device-centric company.
I am curious how much will that be influential to his work for Samsung. I think we can expect 'the revolutionary sCloud' coming in the near future. Followed by a bit PineApple replacing the 'Samsung' sign as their logo. 
High time to stockpile a lot of popcorn, because that's gonna be THE show.

I couldn't spend more than 1-sec with any iPhone. This is the most boring piece of dead-wood-app-launcher ever created.
[READ IT IN BOLD] I can assure you that I am not a fanboy.
Galaxy Note Tab 10.1? No such product ever existed. BTW, if you want to troll, do it properly.
Jotting down notes with iPad? maybe you don't know about wacom.

Who said he was part of the board? He just joined the company in August. Ex-Intel employee.

They had better not - it's patented in QLD, Australia.
No such product existed? hmm funny because this is what I used. http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note_10.1/index.html?type=find
And I wonder why certain people can't seem to see that fact. It's so blatantly obvious. I don't get the RDF these Samdroids live in
What reason is there not to? Plenty of people at Google have iPhones and use Mac computers, so why would Samsung be any different?
Whoops - just saw that someone much earlier had the same thought: it will be "sCloud" and "sTunes"!
and for the same reason, the complete lack of originality on the part of Samsung.
Well, to be fair, Android needs exciting features like live wallpapers and widgets to keep users occupied while they wait for the really cool apps to migrate from iOS. Unfortunately, many great ones have yet to make an appearance, like Pages, Keynote, Paper, GarageBand, DJay, Infinity Blade, Action Movie FX, etc. And when they do, it's oftentimes inferior, like the new craze, Gangnam Style Dancebooth; the iOS version simply blows away the Android version. When I saw the low rating on Google Play, I thought it was a mistake because I had so much fun with it on the iPhone. But after downloading it, I quickly understood why the rating was so low.
he is the chief strategy officer
he is basically saying that our products are better than apple but people stick with apple due to the money they have invested in the ecosystem.. as some people have said earlier he seems more dangerous than an innocent honest person who is telling what product he uses

Not my fault that you can't read properly. Read the name of the product properly.
I will again repeat, there is no such product as "Galaxy Note Tab 10.1".
Many apps are also available on Android with no alternative in iOS. How did the map work out and you guys literally begging for google maps?
What do you have like Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Do you something like DSLR Controller? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller&hl=en
What about google NOW? I guess you are one of those people who thinks google search is google NOW.
Pages, keynote etc., are all part of Apple. No android users are even bothered about any apple-made apps. How many android users do you see are dying to use apple-apps?
And don't worry about having fun, we do have a lot. Because we can do a lot from a stock phone then you can ever do from a jb-iphone.
Can any idevice ever do that?

Couldn't agree more. In essence both iOS & Android do the same thing. In that a Kia and a Bentley are both cars.
You mean Samsung Bada?
Since Samsung has been building TV's for YEARS. Wouldn't it be the other way around?

Ecosystem Hell
Apple has been my go to system for over 10years. I wouldn't say that I have been totally impressed with everything they have done, but they used to at least attempt to help people along. Now it's just cut and run. 10+ years using their sync services that up until iCloud worked with every device I owned. Then they announce the end of life of most of my computers when it comes to sync. Email stopped working(they resolved this), calendar no longer syncs to non Lion or Mountain Lion computers. Keychain, mail rules, contacts, etc, ... all in limbo. And for what? The ecosystem in my mind died when they ended mobile me, a service I have been paying for. And instead of giving official help to people like me they just give us a little extra storage in iCloud, which for me is useless.
So what did I do, well I already had a google account. I just switched all my important stuff to the google account, and all devices now sync. Just like it was before. There are some limitations, but they are no worse than the new limitations with iCloud, and on the plus side it actually works with all my computers and devices.
One final though, 4 years of ios, I was on the 2 year upgrade cycle, so the iPhone 5 was on my list, but because of the above mentioned debacle, I started to look at android. Honestly I thought I would miss my iPhone. Like I said a little over 4 years with the same basic device. And don't get me wrong, I still like my iPhone4, but in daily use I don't miss it at all. Maybe in 2 years Apple with have gotten their ecosystem together enough for me to get another iOS device, but until then. I see no reason too.
