Huawei UK chairman steps down ahead of 5G network ban
Huawei UK chairman Lord Browne is stepping down ahead of the Chinese tech giant being barred from playing any role in Britain’s 5G network.
The former BP chief will step down from the board in September – six months earlier than his tenure was due to end.
A Huawei spokesman said: “When Lord Browne became chairman of Huawei UK’s board of directors in 2015 he brought with him a wealth of experience which has proved vital in ensuring Huawei’s commitment to corporate governance in the UK.
“He has been central to our commitment here dating back 20 years, and we thank him for his valuable contribution.”
