Jessica Wong, who serves as TikTok’s global head of marketing innovations and development and North America head of category, is stepping down from her position.
She said, “My tenure at ByteDance began at a pivotal juncture, fresh from its acquisitions of Flipagram & musical.ly. When they recruited me, TikTok didn’t even exist. I had the privilege of collaborating with the visionary founders & talented colleagues to spearhead the rebranding of musical.ly, and successfully bring TikTok to market in 2018. Witnessing TikTok’s meteoric rise to global prominence has been a source of immense pride.”
