Ryan Ding Yun, a Huawei Technologies Co veteran who was at the helm of the Chinese company's most profitable business, died at age 53 in the wee hours of Friday from a sudden illness, the Shenzhen-based firm announced.

Ding, born in 1969 and holding a master's degree from Southeast University in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, joined Huawei in 1996, rising through the ranks to become president at various departments, including global solution sales and global marketing.

In January, Ding was promoted to president of the enterprise business group, while also serving as president of the carrier business group, putting him in command of two of Huawei's three major businesses. The carrier business group was the company's top earner last year, generating more than 281.4 billion yuan (US$39.5 billion) - roughly 44 per cent of the total revenue.

Ding also served as deputy chairman of Huawei's supervisory board.

In an obituary, Huawei credited Ding for having "worked diligently at Huawei for 26 years and made significant contributions to the company's growth and development". It asked its employees to focus on work and "turn grief into strength".

While Huawei did not divulge the cause of Ding's death, local media reports said he died of heart arrest after taking part in a 28km marathon. Ding was an enthusiastic long-distance runner who spent almost all of his free time running, according to anonymous sources cited by one report.

Ding led Huawei's enterprise and carrier business groups at a time when US sanctions have effectively crippled the company's consumer business, pushing the once-leading smartphone seller to boost other revenue sources.

Ding's last public appearance was in September at Huawei Connect 2022, an annual event in which the company announces new products and solutions. There, he delivered a live-streamed speech demonstrating Huawei's role in driving innovation and showcasing bespoke client solutions.

Huawei Executive Director Ryan Ding Dies of Sudden Illness
pandaily.com

During the late hours of October 7, Huawei released an internal message stating that Ryan Ding, Deputy Chairman of the firm’s supervisory board, had died early that morning at the age of 53 due to a sudden illness. Ding was a key member of Huawei’s management team.
Before the official obituary was released, Yu Weihua, President of the Exhwer Club (“Ex-Huawei-er”), an association of former company employees, revealed on social media that Ding “didn’t wake up” because of heart problems after running for 28 km. However, the accuracy of this statement has not yet been officially confirmed.
Huawei’s official website shows that Ryan Ding was born in 1969 and graduated from China’s Southeast University with a master’s degree. He joined Huawei in 1996 and has served as Product Line President, President of the Global Solution Sales Dept, President of the Global Marketing Dept, and President of Products and Solutions.

At the beginning of this year, Huawei announced high-level personnel changes, appointing Ryan Ding, then the managing director, as President of the Enterprise and Carrier BGs. In terms of organizational structure, Huawei is currently divided into three sections: operators, enterprises and consumers.
Ding’s last public appearance was on September 20 at Huawei Connect. In his keynote speech, he pointed out that under the impact of multiple uncertain factors, deepening digital transformation is the greatest certainty of enterprise development. Huawei works with partners to apply technology in different scenarios to help customers deepen digital transformation and enhance productivity.
Ding was not well-known publicly, as he had been engaged in operator and enterprise business activities for a long time, but he was a well-known executive in the industry, often participating in conferences and exhibitions on topics such as 5G, operators and digital transformation. After news of his death spread, many figures in the industry have expressed shock and condolences on social media, with one writing that this is “a great loss for the telecommunications industry.”
According to a financial report released by Huawei in August this year for the first half of 2022, the company achieved sales revenue of 301.6 billion yuan ($42.4 billion), including operator business revenue of 142.7 billion yuan, enterprise business revenue of 54.7 billion yuan and device business revenue of 101.3 billion yuan. The revenue of its operator business and enterprise business led by Ding also accounted for nearly two-thirds of the company’s total revenue. In Huawei’s “legions,” or “integrated teams” strategy, Ding also served as the head of the Industry Park Network Reserve Legion.

That's why retirement age should have been kept at mid 50s. Unfortunately that's also an executive's prime with his experience and network.
