TikTok has appointed ByteDance’s CFO Shouzi Chew as its new chief executive, the company announced today.
Chew, a Singapore national appointed as the CFO in March of this year, plans to continue serving in that role.
The social media app’s interim head Vanessa Pappas, who is based in Los Angeles, will be serving as the new chief operation officer of the company, Reuters reported.
Chew previously worked as Xiaomi’s chief financial officer from 2015 to 2020, where he also ran the company’s international business for a year.
