I was shocked when I saw the LinkedIn notification. Janet Fenner is one of the smartest people I ever met in my 18+ years in the security industry. Shuffling her to the side is just another indication of how Dahua just cannot seem to get out of its own way. I wish I bought Dahua just so I could drop them.
Janet, if you're reading this, I hope you get picked up by a better company soon.

I noticed this on Janet's LinkedIn, and I was hoping that maybe it was a promotion of some sort? I think she has a done a great deal to improve the brand image of the company, including bring their US social media pages up to snuff.
Honestly the reason I started using Dahua was because of some great people I met who work there. I realized quickly the experience one has with Dahua is directly based on who you deal with. Which although has been mostly positive for me, is a terrible indicator for a business of this size. If the good people start being side lined and/or jump ship... then my days of doing business with Dahua are numbered.

Janet's smart, capable, and has plenty of career left. She will be fine.
This is embarrassing for Dahua though. Her value wasn't just as a good marketer - her highest value to Dahua was as a signal to other higher-level industry people that they should consider the company.

Fenner’s out, but the
logo stays?

This very well might be a promotion. Moving her to lead the business development segment will likely result in much better sales engagement (depending on how Dahua uses the position, of course).

Janet must feel like Sarah Huckabee-Sanders over at Dahua.

Your description of Tim Shen is brutal but accurate. Taking a meeting with him is a colossal waste of time. You walk away shaking your head. Moving him to up head marketing is the bigger concern.

I worked with Janet at Hanwha, and she's rock solid. She engaged with several of my Spanish speaking customers, and she did spectacular. I have no doubt that she'll do fine.
That being said, she could do a lot better. Might I recommend the following:

and several others....

As far as LinkedIn is concerned her new position pays more on average. Maybe it IS a promotion? *Wishful thinking*

This article was published on Jan 4 2017: Dahua New Marketing Head Hired From Hanwha / Samsung
To which I commented:
11 months later, she is not the head of Dahua marketing anymore.

Was there a previous “Director of Business Development” ?

Dahua should write a book "how not to enter the American Market"
There are some talented people at Dahua I used to work with but as has just been said " are they allowed to do their job"
My guess is the person in China who is in charge of the US business unit is the problem. Typically the foreign subsidiaries of Chinese companies have little local authority and need permission to go to the bathroom.
