China's Xiaomi recently implemented its fourth restructuring, during which the company appointed Cui Baoqiu as vice president of Xiaomi Group and chairman of the group's technology committee.
Cui will directly report to Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi Group.
Cui previously worked for IBM's Silicon Valley lab, Yahoo, and LinkedIn, focusing on machine learning and big data. In June 2016, Cui joined Xiaomi and established Xiaomi's artificial intelligence and cloud platform teams, making great contributions to Xiaomi's open source strategy, big data, artificial intelligence, security, and privacy protection.
