Honor started its journey after being separated from Huawei at the end of 2020. Since then it has experienced rapid growth and is now ready to enter the next phase of its life: Honor executives are preparing an initial public offering (IPO ).

Key details are being kept under wraps for now: Where will the company’s shares be listed and when? But before then there is still a lot of work to do, starting with the reorganization of the board of directors.

Following the election at the shareholders’ meeting, Mr Wu Hui will serve as director and chairman of the board of directors with Mr Wan Biao as vice chairman. But that’s not all, the council will see further changes to embrace diversity and meet regulatory requirements.
