TikTok chief executive Kevin Mayer has quit the company just months after his appointment, CNBC reports. “In recent weeks, as the political environment has sharply changed, I have done significant reflection on what the corporate structural changes will require, and what it means for the global role I signed up for. “We appreciate that the political dynamics of the last few months have significantly changed what the scope of Kevin’s role would be going forward, and fully respect his decision. We thank him for his time at the company and wish him well,” a TikTok spokesperson told CNBC. TikTok’s U.S. general manger Vanessa Pappas will be the interim global head at the company.
