Gill Zhou, who served as chief marketing officer for IBM Asia Pacific, will step into Li's role, while the company searches for a new managing director.
In an email sent to internal employees, obtained by WWD, Li said: “The last two years have been a challenging, yet amazing journey…We have tested a broad range of new ways of working with new senior leaders and bringing fresh ideas to our team to work closely with our global system.
“It has been an honor to help and guide Condé Nast China for the last two years. Now time for me to return to my passion for branding, marketing, and retail,” she added. Lynch revealed in the email that Gill Zhou will step into Li’s role immediately, while the company searches for a new managing director.
With nearly 30 years of experience working on behalf of multinational corporations in China, Gill most recently served as chief marketing officer for IBM Asia Pacific where she led brand and marketing teams across 13 countries and was responsible for the digital transformation of B2B sales across the greater China region. Prior to IBM, Gill served as Motorola China’s communications leader.
“Gill shared with me that she is proud of being known as someone who leads with her heart by always putting people first, especially during times of change and transformation…Gill will spend some time working closely with the executive team and me in New York before she returns to Beijing in October. Over the next few weeks, she will be reaching out to you and stepping in quickly to manage all elements of our business,” Lynch said in the email.
