This org chart shows the leadership structure of TikTok Shop's US operations team as the company looks to grow its e-commerce business in the country.
TikTok Shop, the e-commerce division of the popular video app, has unveiled its organizational structure for US operations, as reported by Business Insider. The chart details the 14 key executives and their direct reports. The US operations team is primarily led by individuals with backgrounds in Chinese tech or e-commerce. Since its launch in the US in 2023, TikTok Shop has attracted thousands of brands and influencers to showcase shopping videos and livestreams.
Mu Qing, a former e-commerce executive for Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok, holds the top spot as the US operations leader. Mu reports to Bob Kang, ByteDance's e-commerce lead, TikTok's global parent company. Six out of the seven US product category leaders who report to Mu have previously worked in China at ByteDance or other companies.
TikTok's US Shop creator team is overseen by an executive who previously led Douyin's creator team. According to a TikTok spokesperson, the organization's leadership structure has remained largely unchanged for over a year, with the focus on empowering American businesses of all sizes to thrive on the platform.
