Hugo Barra announces departure from Xiaomi
Hugo Barra — Vice President, Xiaomi Global — announced today in a
Facebook post that he will be leaving the company in February after
Chinese New Year. He will be replaced by current IP & Partnerships
chief Xiang Wang.
Barra clarified in his post that ever since he took up the position
three and a half years ago, the work took a huge toll on his life and
affected his personal health. He also misses his friends and family back
home in Silicon Valley. As such, he took the decision of leaving the
company and head back to Silicon Valley.
Barra does look back fondly at his time in the company and all the progress it made since he joined it nearly four years ago. He called Xiaomi Global the "first baby I helped bring into the world". He did not specify what he will be doing next after going back to Silicon Valley, saying only that he will be taking a "much-needed time off" first.
