About Me

Lei Jun is cofounder, chairman and CEO of Hong Kong-listed Xiaomi, one of the world's most popular smartphone brands. Best known for its value-for-money devices, Xiaomi has also been trying to crack the high-end market. Lei announced in 2021 his ambition to make electric vehicles, which the mogul called his last major startup project. Xiaomi has since launched a series of pure electric and extended-range models, or hybrids that have gasoline-powered engines installed to power batteries on the go. Lei is also the chairman of Hong Kong-listed software firm Kingsoft and an investor in JOYY, a Nasdaq-listed live streaming and social media platform formerly known as YY.com.
