Smartphone maker Xiaomi is going through a staff reshuffle just as the company is preparing what some believe will be the biggest IPO in 2018, TechNode’s Chinese sister site reports. Two out of eight of Xiaomi’s co-founders have left the company, according to an internal letter sent by the company’s CEO Lei Jun published yesterday, April 27.
The letter revealed that Zhou Guangping and Huang Jiangji have resigned from their position. It also announced that the CFO of the company, Chew Shou Zi, will be appointed as Senior Vice President.
