Huawei Technologies Co. will shake up its board for the first time in six years as the Chinese company prepares to push deeper into developed markets such as the U.S. for growth.
China’s largest networking gear maker will in 2018 elect directors for the first time since 2012, rotating Chief Executive Officer Guo Ping said in an interview Tuesday. That’ll reshape the board at a company controlled by ex-army engineer Ren Zhengfei, and infuse new blood into a telecoms giant that last year became the world’s third largest mobile phone brand.
