Last year, OnePlus was merged with OPPO and the company’s founder and CEO Pete Lau rejoined OPPO as a Chief Product Officer along with continuing with his existing role of being the chief executive officer at OnePlus.

Today, Pete Lau has announced that Li Jie will be the President of OnePlus China and he will be responsible for the company’s operation in the Chinese market.

Li Jie had joined OPPO in the year 2010 and during his 11 years of working at OPPO, he has played many roles, ranging from product planning for the Find series smartphones, including strategic planning of hardware, and product roadmap. He also served as the Head of User Operations for the company in China.

He says that he aims to act as a bridge between OnePlus and its customers to better convert the voice of the customers to his team. He is also hoping to provide better products and services to expand the brand’s footprints.

The development comes at a time when the company is gearing up to launch its next-generation flagship smartphones under the OnePlus 10 lineup. It has already started taking pre-orders for the OnePlus 10 Pro, which is set to officially launch on 11th January in the Chinese market. If the reports are to be believed, then the global release of the device could take place sometime around March or April.
