字節跳動創始人張一鳴發佈內部信宣布瓦納沙·帕帕斯（Vanessa Pappas）將暫代TikTok全球負責人，並繼續帶領TikTok美國團隊。就在剛剛，TikTok首席執行官Kevin Mayer通過內部信宣布辭任，距離其5月19日擔任TikTok CEO僅僅過去了三月多月的時間。

此前，TikTok在美國對特朗普政府提起訴訟，認為特朗普政府針對TikTok的行政令違反美國憲法。

張一鳴在內部信中表示，尊重凱文的決定，也感謝他為TikTok付出過的努力。

“由於我們所處的環境不同，這件事情最終的處理結果不管怎麼樣，都可能對他的工作產生重大影響。我感謝凱文為解決這些問題所作的努力，並祝他一切順利。”

張一鳴同時表示，“正在迅速採取行動，找到解決我們在全球面臨的問題，特別是在美國和印度的問題。”

他表示，瓦妮莎將是帶領TikTok 向前推進的合適人選。(楊雪梅)

以下為公開信全文：

大家好：

我相信你們已經收到凱文的郵件。我想在此和各位分享一下我的看法。

首先，我想感謝凱文。可以說，在我們迎來最困難時期（特別是在美國和印度市場上），凱文加入了我們。在我們這樣一家行動迅速的公司，擔任領導者並非易事。在他到任之後，外界環境更是變得愈發複雜。凱文已經和我聊過，我也明白，無論我們正在應對的這件事情的最終結果如何，它都會對凱文的工作產生重大影響，特別是考慮到他人在美國卻身負全球管理的職責。我感謝凱文為解決這些問題所作的努力，並祝他一切順利。

其次，我想告訴大家，我們正迅速採取行動，為我們面臨的全球性問題（特別是在美國和印度）尋找解決方案。眼下，我不能提供更多細節。但我可以向各位保證，我們正在研究符合用戶、創作者、合作夥伴和員工利益的解決方案。

第三，我非常高興地通知各位，瓦納沙將被任命為TikTok的臨時負責人，即時生效。眾所周知，瓦納沙是我們團隊的堅實後盾，為我們帶來智慧、善意和體貼。自從2019年初以來，她幫助TikTok在美國取得巨大成功。那時候，我們在美國的團隊規模還十分小，但卻人才濟濟。她將是帶領TikTok前進的合適人選，繼續幫助平台不斷獲取新用戶、激發創造力並為用戶帶來歡樂。

最後，我們希望大家知道，我真的很感謝各位無盡的付出。儘管外界嘈雜，但你們始終專注於我們的使命，為依賴我們平台的用戶持續開發好的產品。整個團隊都非常出色。通過提供真正獨特的在線體驗，我們得以與世界上其他大型科技公司有效競爭，贏得用戶和品牌的信任與青睞。

感謝大家的努力工作和無私奉獻。

一鳴

Team,

I trust that you’ve all seen Kevin’s note. I want to give you a few thoughts on this.

First, I want to thank Kevin, who joined us just as we were entering arguably our most challenging moment, in India and the US in particular. It is never easy to come into a leadership position in a company moving as quickly as we are, and the circumstances following his arrival made it all the more complex. Kevin spoke to me, and I fully understand that the resulting outcome that we land upon due to the political circumstances we are operating within could have significant impact on his job in any scenario, but particularly given his global role while he’s based in the US. I thank Kevin for his efforts towards a resolution to these issues and wish him well.

Secondly, I want to let everyone know that we are moving quickly to find resolutions to the issues that we face globally, particularly in the US and India. I cannot get into details at this point, but I can assure you that we are developing solutions that will be in the interest of users, creators, partners, and employees.

Third, I’m pleased to tell you that Vanessa has been named interim head of TikTok, effective immediately. As you all know, Vanessa has been a rock on our team, providing intelligence, empathy, and thoughtfulness. She has helped lead the success of TikTok in the US since the start of 2019, joining when we had a small (but highly talented) team in the US. She is the right person to take TikTok forward as the platform continues to reach new audiences, inspire creativity, and bring joy to our users.

Finally, I want all of you to know that I really appreciate the endless hours that you have worked, shutting out the noise around us to focus instead on our mission and what we are building for those who rely upon our platform. The entire team is doing an incredible job, competing effectively against some of the biggest technology companies in the world to win the hearts and minds of users and brands, by offering a truly unique online experience.

Thank you for all of your hard work, and your dedication.

Yiming
