Alvin Tse is no longer the boss of Xiaomi Indonesia. There is a new figure who fills the position as Country Director of Xiaomi Indonesia.
His name is Wentao Zhao, he has 14 years of experience in the smartphone industry and has lived in Indonesia for more than ten years. Previously, he was the Head of Offline Sales for Xiaomi Indonesia.
Wentao is now mandated to be the captain of Xiaomi Indonesia after previously helping develop the company's business in the country with his predecessor, Alvin Tse.
Alvin himself has a new assignment. He was promoted as General Manager of Xiaomi India.
During his tenure as Country Director of Xiaomi Indonesia, Alvin briefly brought Xiaomi to the first position of the Indonesian mobile phone market in the second quarter of 2021. He also dared to bring a flagship product line after the previous leader lacked confidence in bringing him to the country.
Alvin also helped expand Xiaomi Indonesia's new retail network, which to date has reached more than 400 Xiaomi Stores and Xiaomi Shops as well as more than 4,000 partners.
"I will miss Indonesia! I had an amazing experience in Indonesia after working with so many supportive partners and building relationships with many passionate Xiaomi fans. I believe in our smartphone and AIoT business which continues to grow rapidly and I know the team Indonesia will be in good hands with Wentao," said Alvin Tse.
"Wentao is someone who works well in a team, a leader who listens a lot, and is ready to take Xiaomi to the next level. I look forward to the growing growth of the Indonesian team in the years to come," he said.
