Ms. Fei Ye has served as Huazhu’s vice president of strategic investment and capital market since March 2016 and is in charge of Huazhu’s investment and portfolio management globally. Over the years, she led the acquisitions of Crystal Orange, Blossom House and Deutsche Hospitality, and the formation of a China-focused hospitality real-estate fund. 

Mr. Dong Li has served as chief accounting officer of Huazhu since June 2020 and chief financial officer of Huazhu China Region since December 2020. Before joining Huazhu, he was the financial planning and analysis head of the Asia-Pacific, middle east and north Africa regions of PepsiCo, Inc.

Mr. Qi Ji, Huazhu chairman and CEO, commented:

As chief financial officer, Teo championed company-wide efforts to achieve Huazhu’s strategic goals and create shareholder value. On behalf of the Company and the board, I would like to thank Teo for his contribution and service to the Company and wish him every success in his future endeavors.”
