In fact, through checking the official website of Geely Holding Group, it was found that Geely has implemented a rotating CEO system since March this year, with Dai Qing as the first rotating CEO.
According to the official website of Geely Holding Group, Dai Qing joined the group in 2000 and has held various positions including Finance Department Head of a subsidiary, Finance Management Department Head of the group, General Manager of the Group Finance Management Center, Deputy Chief Financial Officer of the group, Senior Director of Group Operations and Management, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Geely Automobile Group, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Geely Holding Group, and has been serving as the rotating President of Geely Holding Group since March 2025.
Media analysis shows that from a sustainable perspective, Geely needs to avoid risks in corporate governance, optimize management structure and decision-making efficiency, and quickly enter the competitive Chinese automotive market. For the current management team of Geely, delegation of power and checks and balances are equally important.
In this situation, implementing the rotating CEO system advocated by Huawei undoubtedly has several advantages: avoiding excessive concentration of power, cultivating a new generation of leaders, improving company transparency, adapting to company development needs, enhancing company competitiveness, and reducing the risk of CEO turnover.
It is worth noting that Geely Automobile recently announced plans to acquire all the issued shares of Jike. It is understood that Geely Automobile currently holds approximately 65.7% of Jike; If the transaction is completed, Jike will fully merge with Geely Automobile.
