Harnessing the talents of 60,000 people at a Chinese multinational tech company in the ‘M-ICT’ age hinges on right corporate culture
As ZTE Corp. turns 30, its CEO reflects on some of the cornerstones of its success

Turning 30 is a defining moment, prompting many people to take on new opportunities and fresh challenges. Many brilliant careers start at 30.
In the year of our company ZTE’s 30th anniversary, my most important job is to fully harness the great talents of more than 60,000 colleagues in over 100 countries, making our company stronger and faster.
In the technology industry, exciting new opportunities are opening up as the inexorable growth of the mobile internet allows more people, businesses and objects to connect, creating smarter and more user-friendly services and applications. At ZTE, we call this the “M-ICT” age.
When I meet my colleagues in Asia, the Americas, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, I sense that they share my excitement as the age of M-ICT gives them new opportunities to develop new technologies and solutions that help our customers unlock the possibilities of mobile broadband networks, the Internet of Things and cloud computing.
I can’t remember a more exciting time to work in the technology industry since joining ZTE in 1989, when we were a very young company.
