He previously oversaw the Global User Ecosystem team, which includes the strategy development and execution of FFIE’s Brand & Marketing Communications, O2O Sales and aftersales, User Operations as well as the establishment of the Eco-O2O Direct Sales System. Mr. Mok is a senior leader with over 15 years of executive experience in the global consumer electronics, high-tech Internet industries and intelligent electric vehicle industries and was a key executive who participated in the early establishment of FF. Prior to that time, Mr. Mok served as the chief marking officer of the LeEco Holdings and the CEO of LeEco Holdings Asia Pacific, where he successfully helped that company develop its products in the United States, Mainland China, India, Hong Kong, China along with other global markets including the Asia-Pacific region.
