Zhang Nan joined ByteDance in 2014 and was an entrepreneur. In 2016, she led the team to launch products such as Douyin from 0 to 1. In 2018, Douyin became one of the most popular short** products in China. In 2020, Zhang Nan became the CEO of Douyin Group.
According to a person close to Jianying, in the past year, Zhang Nan has tilted most of his energy to Jianying-related business, and personally led the team to seek a breakthrough in AI-assisted creation, and will soon launch an AI picture and ** product. According to public information, in the past three years, Jianying-related products have developed rapidly, and as of 2021, Jianying's monthly active users have exceeded 100 million, making it the largest mobile editing product in China.
According to people close to Douyin Group, as various businesses are approaching maturity, after Zhang Nan's resignation, the company has no plans to set up a new CEO, and the group's business will be led by Han Shangyou, the head of Douyin, Zhang Chao, the head of Tomato** and Toutiao, Wei Wenwen, the head of Douyin e-commerce, Pu Yanzi, the head of Douyin life services, and Zhao Xiuying, the head of Douyin's advertising business.

Take dreams as horses and live up to the time.
2024 must be an "interesting" year, and it is also the first small milestone (ten years) that I have crossed at ByteDance, I used to say to my teammates, if there are 30,000 days in life, you should cherish it, especially the 10,000 days in the middle, I am especially happy that the past 3578 days have experienced all kinds of wonderful moments in life with you, among which all kinds of hardships and joys, only those who have struggled together can really understand, there are many gains and some regrets, But these are not important, the important thing is to go through those days together, and it is these good times that gave me the courage to "restart" in situ, this is my gift to myself for the next ten years, in a limited life, an infinite game, as the old saying goes, "life must be able to afford to let go", I think "only really let go, can go all out", here I want to thank myself, live up to the time, but also thank you everyone, give me this opportunity, with me to toss.
Okay, now that I'm done, let's get down to business:
I am ready to take off my heavy responsibility as the CEO of Douyin Group, focus on starting from the "heart", and use the state of always starting a business to toss some things I love in the next ten years. ByteDance is the best platform, both dreams and pragmatic romance, I am looking forward to dreaming with Jianying's friends, growing up with this era of AI, and jointly drawing the fantasy world in my mind.
