Exclusive: Du Jun returns to Huobi and may be responsible for market work

Wu Blockchain exclusively learned that Du Jun, founder of Node Capital and Golden Finance, will officially return to Huobi and fully participate in Huobi’s daily work. Du Jun also responded and confirmed the news.

Du Jun once served as CMO at Huobi, and this time he may be responsible for CMO work such as marketing and branding again.

According to Golden Finance Network, Du Jun is the founding partner of Node Capital, the founder and CEO of Golden Finance, the former founding partner and CMO of Huobi Tianxia, ​​and the former community manager of Kangsheng Chuangxiang.

Reference Exclusive: Huobi's new CFO is announced. Former Canaan Vice President Zhang Li is expected to take the position. Huobi's No. 3 figure Li Shufei suddenly resigned. Former OKEx CEO is known as the Wu Yanzu of the currency circle. Huobi Group has added another senior executive. Who is the chief investment officer? China Merchants Bank invested in Nervos and once "took the blame" at UBS. Exclusive: Former Alibaba executive Zhu Ye is the new CTO of Huobi. All Huobi executives are exposed for the first time.

In July 2018, Huobi founder Li Lin returned to Huobi because he felt that "the company had encountered some problems" and strengthened the strict control and deployment of the company's personnel and finances. Senior management changes were very frequent. Since the beginning of this year, new CTO, CIO, and CFO have taken office .

In the first half of 2020, Zhu Ye, a technical executive from Alibaba, joined as Huobi's new CTO. The previous CTO Cheng Xianfeng was suspected to have resigned due to the 2019 outage.

On August 3, 2020, Sharlyn Wu from CMB International joined as Chief Investment Officer.

On August 10, 2020, former CFO Li Shufei resigned. On August 28, 2020, new CFO Zhang Li is scheduled to take office.

Huobi’s internal market system is also undergoing continuous changes. There was a rumor that a new CMO was appointed, but the subsequent upgrade and expansion of the market center dispelled this rumor to some extent. It is possible that the new CMO did not finally join the company in the power struggle, and some market functions still belong to the domain of the seventh master Weng Xiaoqi. There are also rumors that a new person in charge of the risk control department has joined.

Regarding the departure of Huobi executives, Li Lin said in an interview with Planet Daily after his return:

1. Mobility is natural and will occur in any company. It all comes down to a mismatch between platform development and employees’ own expectations, and perhaps one of the two parties cannot keep up.

2. Our philosophy is to bless any executive who leaves and maintain a good relationship with him. This is our business philosophy: do not regard him as a betrayal, but just that the needs of both parties do not match at the moment. You are a former colleague, and I certainly hope that you can develop better.

3. You can never expect to find someone to replace you. It is impossible. The founder is irreplaceable. But it does need to be cultivated, but the process is very long. It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a general.
