Google Inc made an announcement, quite a sad announcement actually. The news is that Kai-Fu Lee, president of Google China has resigned from Google. Director of Google’s Shanghai engineering office Boon-Lock Yeo, and Google China’s sales team leader John Liu will be succeeding Lee. Boon-Lock Yeo will take care of engineering tasks whereas John Liu will be in charge of business and operations.

The former president attributed “moving on to pursue other ventures” as the reason for his departure. This statement suggests one thing and that is Lee would be starting his own project.

Let us see how Google China performs with the departure of their president. What do you think, what will be the impact of this resignation.
