Shou Chew

Shou Chew led early investments in TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, while working at venture capital firm DST Global. In 2021, he became ByteDance's CFO and, in 2022, he gave up his role at ByteDance to focus entirely on TikTok. Since then, he's overseen explosive growth of the video hosting service; it was the world's most-downloaded app for three years in a row, with nearly 700 million downloads in 2022.

Born and raised in Singapore, Chew was educated at University College London and Harvard Business School. Fun fact: he interned with Facebook during its early startup days.
