Irish TikTok executive Cormac Keenan to quit role
Chinese-owned company is making a number of executive-level changes globally
Cormac Keenan, the most senior Irish executive at TikTok, is stepping down as part of a reshake of the tech giant’s executive ranks.
Keenan, the boss of TikTok’s global trust and safety division, is reportedly stepping down for personal reasons, and will become a non-executive director and advisor.
It comes as TikTok – owned by Beijing-based ByteDance – has replaced several senior executives and rejigged its trust and safety operation.
The move will give Shou Zi Chew, its chief executive, more control over content moderation at the company, according to a report in The Information.
