CNBC AI News, July 16th – Social media buzz erupted after photos surfaced showing Richard Yu, Huawei’s Executive Director and Chairman of the Consumer BG, and He Gang, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer BG, sharing a ride on an airport shuttle. The seemingly candid snapshots offer a glimpse into the lives of two of Huawei’s top executives.
Despite their prominent positions, Yu and He were traveling without an entourage, foregoing the usual security detail and assistants. Yu was seen handling his own luggage, while He carried a simple backpack, a stark contrast to the often-elaborate travel arrangements of high-profile executives.
In the photos, both Yu and He appear engrossed in their smartphones, perhaps catching up on emails or market updates. A closer look at their devices has sparked speculation among tech enthusiasts.
He Gang was reportedly using Huawei’s latest flagship, the Pura 80 series, with the camera module size suggesting it was the top-of-the-line Pura 80 Ultra. Yu, on the other hand, was spotted with the Huawei Pura X, the company’s first globally available foldable phone, further fueling interest in Huawei’s cutting-edge mobile technology.
Yu and He jointly presented the Pura 80 series in June. Their recent trip together suggests potential business travels related to the launch and expansion of Huawei’s consumer products. The Pura series is critical to Huawei’s strategy to regain market share in the premium smartphone segment, competing directly with rivals like Apple and Samsung.
Insiders describe Yu as maintaining a low-profile lifestyle despite his influential role at Huawei. He’s built a reputation for his hands-on approach and direct communication style, which resonates with both employees and consumers.
During a recent livestream showcasing the advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) of the AITO M7 Ultra, Yu jokingly admitted to being a “tech guy” who is “not good at talking” and shuns ostentation. His comments provide a glimpse into the personality behind the Huawei brand.
“Deep down, I’m an introvert,” Yu confessed. “But in this industry, we have to do livestreams and promote our products, so I can only push myself to do it.” This self-awareness and willingness to step outside his comfort zone, even acknowledging his weaknesses, have arguably contributed to his success in a highly competitive industry.
