Xiaomi VPs Ma Ji and Yan Kesheng Depart Amid Leadership Reshuffle
Xiaomi Corporation has confirmed the departure of two Vice Presidents, Ma Ji and Yan Kesheng, as part of a broader leadership restructuring. Multiple media reports indicate that their profiles on the internal workplace platform Feishu now display a "departed" status. Yan Kesheng, who reportedly retired at age 53, was a pivotal figure in Xiaomi’s hardware operations, specifically overseeing product quality. He served as Chairman of the Quality Committee, reporting directly to CEO Lei Jun, a role previously held by Lei himself following the company's 2018 IPO. Ma Ji, who joined Xiaomi in 2013, was responsible for the internet business before his VP appointment in 2022. Most recently, he led the New Retail Division starting in August 2023. This development marks Xiaomi’s third major leadership reshuffle in 2024. Previous changes included executives Lu Weibing and Zeng Xuezhong switching roles, and Wang Teng assuming the position of General Manager for the Redmi brand. These moves signal significant strategic adjustments within the tech giant's management structure.
