On the evening of April 30, CNMO learned that according to 36 Krypton reports, this afternoon, Huawei issued an internal personnel adjustment document, announcing that Yu Chengdong will step down as CEO of Huawei Terminal BG and still retain the position of chairman of Terminal BG. He Gang, former Huawei Device BG and Chief Operating Officer, took over as CEO of Huawei Device BG.
According to public information, Yu Chengdong graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Since joining Huawei in 1989, he has grown from a grassroots engineer to a core executive of Huawei with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts. Under his leadership, Huawei's mobile phone business has gone through a glorious development journey from scratch, from small to large, and from domestic to international. Especially in the smartphone market, Huawei's mobile phones have successfully achieved a magnificent transformation from following to leading, from imitation to innovation, and from low-end to high-end.
During his career at Huawei, Yu Chengdong not only served as President of the Wireless Product Line, Vice President of the Wireless Product Line, and Vice President of Technical Sales of the Wireless Product Line, but was also appointed President of the Device Product Line in 2006, taking full responsibility for Huawei's mobile phone business. In 2011, he became Executive Director and CEO of Huawei Device BG, and in 2020, he also served as CEO of Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU.
It is worth mentioning that at present, the management information on Huawei's official website shows that Yu Chengdong's position has not changed for the time being. However, this adjustment has attracted a lot of attention in the industry. However, according to people familiar with the matter, the document did not reveal more information and the new business focus of Yu Chengdong after he stepped down. Some Huawei people also commented to 36Kr, "This is the normal change of the company's relevant senior management, nothing special." ”
