SMIC's senior management has reshuffled

SMIC is the most advanced chip manufacturer in the mainland, and it shoulders the important task of improving production capacity and breaking through process technology. At present, SMIC is stepping up the construction of chip factories, but at this critical moment, the senior management of SMIC has undergone frequent changes.

Everything has to start from December 2020. At that time, SMIC issued an announcement stating that the board of directors appointed Jiang Shangyi as the company's vice chairman, second-class executive director and member of the strategic committee.

Anyone who has a certain understanding of Jiang Shangyi knows that before this technical tycoon airborne SMIC, he worked at SMIC for a while, and after going around, he came back to SMIC. However, because Jiang Shangyi and Liang Mengsong worked at TSMC more than ten years ago were related by superiors and subordinates, Jiang Shangyi served as Liang Mengsong's boss.

After arriving at SMIC, Liang Mengsong became his boss again without notifying him in advance. This gave Liang Mengsong the idea of resigning, but fortunately, SMIC attached importance to talents and successfully kept Liang Mengsong.

SMIC has joined the two bigwigs Jiang Shangyi and Liang Mengsong, which is a great addition. However, Jiang Shangyi suddenly announced his resignation after less than a year of office.

In November 2021, SMIC issued an announcement stating that Jiang Shangyi had resigned from his position as vice chairman and executive director, and resigned from SMIC. At the same time, Liang Mengsong no longer serves as executive director and will continue to retain his position as co-CEO.

By this time, the executive directors of SMIC had been reduced to 3, including Zhou Zixue , Zhao Haijun, and Gao Yonggang .

Then the members of SMIC's executive director were reduced again. In March 2022, Zhou Zixue resigned from his position as executive director and chairman. On August 11, SMIC's senior management was reshuffled again, and another executive director left.

According to the announcement of SMIC, Zhao Haijun resigned as the company's executive director in order to focus on the company's joint CEO. After resigning, Zhao Haijun will continue to serve as co-CEO. So far, Gao Yonggang is the only one remaining executive director of SMIC. What does the transformation of the executive director of

into co-CEO?

or above is just a change in the position of executive director of SMIC, involving other core personnel, R&D technical talents, etc. For example, in July this year, Zhou Meisheng, executive vice president of SMIC, resigned, and the reason for his resignation was that he was at the age of retirement.

Generally speaking, it is actually normal for a company's personnel changes and senior management adjustments. During the company's operation period, actual adjustments will be made at any time based on the actual situation of the personnel and the company's business arrangements. Some are personal reasons, some are at the age of retirement, but no matter what the reason is, it is important to look forward.

Take Zhao Haijun's position change this time as an example. In fact, he is looking forward. Because after the executive director became co-CEO, he stated that he would no longer participate in the board of directors' position discussions as shareholders, but instead participate in the operation as a company manager.

If you serve as an executive director, you must be responsible for the affairs of the board of directors and participate in the daily management of the company, which is equivalent to having multiple positions. After understanding this concept, when Zhao Haijun resigns as executive director, he knows that this is done to devote more time and energy to management business.

includes Liang Mengsong, who previously resigned as executive director, and only retains the position of co-CEO, so that he can focus on R&D projects.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to some senior executives resigning to relevant positions, SMIC has also appointed new directors. In the announcement on August 11, SMIC also mentioned that it would appoint Academician Wu Hanming and as the company's first category independent non-executive director.

This is undoubtedly good news. Wu Hanming is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a famous expert in the field of microelectronics in China. With the joining of Academician Wu Hanming, SMIC, I believe it is icing on the cake.

The positions of veteran big shots change frequently, what should I think?

chip industry brings together top human engineers, such as Jiang Shangyi, Liang Mengsong, Wu Hanming and other expert bosses, who are even leaders in the industry. It plays a great role in promoting the development of domestic chips. But we have also seen that many veteran SMIC players have changed their positions frequently. What should we think about?

actually reflects a problem behind the job changes, that is, age.

It is undeniable that the deeper the qualifications in the chip industry, the richer the industry experience, the stronger the ability. This is the precipitation of time, and it blooms brightly over time.

But we also need someone to take on the burden of the industry in the technological replacement generation after generation. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the cultivation of a new generation of talents, so that more talents can enter this industry, so that young people can have more learning opportunities, and become new leaders in the future.

summary

SMIC has attracted much attention from the Chinese people. Looking to the future, SMIC can consider more cooperation with schools and enterprises, make more efforts in talents, and spend more thought. There is a gap of 300,000 chip talents in China. I hope that more chip giants can pay attention to talent training and create a future together.
