Ren Zhengfei, the Founder and CEO of Huawei Technologies, recently stated a few interesting points regarding his position in the company in an interview with South China Morning Post. He said that he is not a spiritual leader of Huawei, but rather a puppet leader.
According to the senior executive, he hopes to be forgotten over time and his biggest wish “is to drink coffee in a cafe unnoticed.” Ren Zhengfei went on to say that “I’m just an old man. What’s the point of remembering me? People should think more about the future and the world.” This is easier said than done considering his position in the Chinese tech giant, which is also currently in the epicenter of the US and China trade wars.

In recent times, Huawei has been facing numerous complications and hindrances by the US government. This led to Ren to finally stepping out from his management position behind the stages and take the reigns of the company again after years. Back in 2019, the company faced a trade ban in the US, causing it to be blacklisted from buying or selling goods to US based companies. Earlier this year, the US tried to further hamper Huawei’s situation by limiting its chip supply through TSMC, the largest contract chip manufacturer.
Despite certain long time employees calling Ren “the definite leader, the spiritual leader in Huawei,” he considers himself to be just a puppet to the Rotating Chairmen. In Huawei’s top brass, there are three Rotating Chairman that cycle between one another to lead the company. The constant cycling is done to prevent ideas and creativity to lower under single management and apparently Ren abides by them as well.
