Hikvision NA President Jeffrey He 'Promoted' / Removed

Published Aug 01, 2018 12:49 PM

With an impending US government ban of their products, financial struggles and increasing scrutiny of Hikvision human rights abuse, Hikvision has promoted their long-term North American President Jeffrey He.

Inside this note, we examine:

  • He's North America replacement from China
  • How Hikvision handled this much smarter than Dahua's recent International move
  • How this impacts the ~400 US employees now reporting to the new GM
  • What Hikvision's future outlook is
