Mayer, TikTok’s American CEO, has resigned after just three months in the job, citing the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China. “I understand that the role that I signed up for—including running TikTok globally—will look very different as a result of the U.S. Administration’s action to push for a sell off of the U.S. business,” Mayer wrote to employees. TikTok said it “fully” respects Mayer’s decision and wishes him well. (CNBC)
