Smartphone giant Xiaomi Corp’s international business president, Chew Shou Zi, announced his resignation on Wednesday, as he joins TikTok owner ByteDance to serve as its new chief financial officer, based in his home country of Singapore.
A ByteDance spokeswoman confirmed Chew’s new job on Wednesday.
Earlier on the same day, Xiaomi said Chew resigned from the company because of family reasons, after the company reported its fourth-quarter financial results.
“After being away from home for 18 years, I am going to be based in my home country, Singapore,” Chew wrote in a post on microblogging platform Weibo, while thanking Xiaomi co-founder and chief executive Lei Jun. “I am fully confident about the future of Xiaomi and I have never doubted this: this company will become one of the greatest.”
Lei responded with his own post on Weibo, calling Chew “my brother who has been fighting alongside me for six years” and wishing him “unlimited excitement” in his future.
