张一鸣:正在制定解决全球问题的方案 尚不能透露细节
新浪科技讯 8月27日午间消息,字节跳动创始人张一鸣发布内部信宣布瓦妮莎·帕帕斯(Vanessa Pappas)将暂代TikTok全球负责人,并继续带领TikTok美国团队。
就在刚刚,TikTok首席执行官Kevin Mayer通过内部信宣布辞任,距离其5月19日担任TikTok CEO仅仅过去了三月多月的时间。
此前,TikTok在美国对特朗普政府提起诉讼,认为特朗普政府针对TikTok的行政令违反美国宪法。
张一鸣在内部信中表示,尊重凯文的决定,也感谢他为TikTok付出过的努力。
“由于我们所处的环境不同,这件事情最终的处理结果不管怎么样,都可能对他的工作产生重大影响。我感谢凯文为解决这些问题所作的努力,并祝他一切顺利。”
张一鸣同时表示,“正在迅速采取行动,找到解决我们在全球面临的问题,特别是在美国和印度的问题。”
他表示,瓦妮莎将是带领TikTok 向前推进的合适人选。(杨雪梅)
以下为公开信全文:
大家好:
我相信你们已经收到凯文的邮件。我想在此和各位分享一下我的看法。
首先,我想感谢凯文。可以说,在我们迎来最困难时期(特别是在美国和印度市场上),凯文加入了我们。在我们这样一家行动迅速的公司,担任领导者并非易事。在他到任之后,外界环境更是变得愈发复杂。凯文已经和我聊过,我也明白,无论我们正在应对的这件事情的最终结果如何,它都会对凯文的工作产生重大影响,特别是考虑到他人在美国却身负全球管理的职责。我感谢凯文为解决这些问题所作的努力,并祝他一切顺利。
其次,我想告诉大家,我们正迅速采取行动,为我们面临的全球性问题(特别是在美国和印度)寻找解决方案。眼下,我不能提供更多细节。但我可以向各位保证,我们正在研究符合用户、创作者、合作伙伴和员工利益的解决方案。
第三,我非常高兴地通知各位,瓦纳沙将被任命为TikTok的临时负责人,即时生效。众所周知,瓦纳沙是我们团队的坚实后盾,为我们带来智慧、善意和体贴。自从2019年初以来,她帮助TikTok在美国取得巨大成功。那时候,我们在美国的团队规模还十分小,但却人才济济。她将是带领TikTok前进的合适人选,继续帮助平台不断获取新用户、激发创造力并为用户带来欢乐。
最后,我们希望大家知道,我真的很感谢各位无尽的付出。尽管外界嘈杂,但你们始终专注于我们的使命,为依赖我们平台的用户持续开发好的产品。整个团队都非常出色。通过提供真正独特的在线体验,我们得以与世界上其他大型科技公司有效竞争,赢得用户和品牌的信任与青睐。
感谢大家的努力工作和无私奉献。
一鸣
Team,
I trust that you've all seen Kevin's note. I want to give you a few thoughts on this.
First, I want to thank Kevin, who joined us just as we were entering arguably our most challenging moment, in India and the US in particular. It is never easy to come into a leadership position in a company moving as quickly as we are, and the circumstances following his arrival made it all the more complex. Kevin spoke to me, and I fully understand that the resulting outcome that we land upon due to the political circumstances we are operating within could have significant impact on his job in any scenario, but particularly given his global role while he's based in the US. I thank Kevin for his efforts towards a resolution to these issues and wish him well.
Secondly, I want to let everyone know that we are moving quickly to find resolutions to the issues that we face globally, particularly in the US and India. I cannot get into details at this point, but I can assure you that we are developing solutions that will be in the interest of users, creators, partners, and employees.
Third, I'm pleased to tell you that Vanessa has been named interim head of TikTok, effective immediately. As you all know, Vanessa has been a rock on our team, providing intelligence, empathy, and thoughtfulness. She has helped lead the success of TikTok in the US since the start of 2019, joining when we had a small (but highly talented) team in the US. She is the right person to take TikTok forward as the platform continues to reach new audiences, inspire creativity, and bring joy to our users.
Finally, I want all of you to know that I really appreciate the endless hours that you have worked, shutting out the noise around us to focus instead on our mission and what we are building for those who rely upon our platform. The entire team is doing an incredible job, competing effectively against some of the biggest technology companies in the world to win the hearts and minds of users and brands, by offering a truly unique online experience.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and your dedication.
Yiming
