Shou Zi Chew parents: Who are the parents of the TikTok CEO?

Shou Zi Chew’s father reportedly worked in construction while his mother was a bookkeeper.

However, their identities are not available in the public.

Shou Zi Chew, born 1 January 1983, is a Singaporean entrepreneur. He is the CEO of social networking company TikTok.

Born and bred in Singapore, Chew is fluent in English and Mandarin.

Chew was a Hwa Chong alumnus, and was an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces during his national service (NS).

After completing NS, he attended University College London and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

Shou Zi Chew stayed on in London to work as a banker for the Goldman Sachs Group.

In 2010, Chew went to Harvard Business School to study for a master of business administration (MBA) and interned at Facebook when the social media platform was still a start-up. Facebook went public in mid-2012.

In March 2021, Chew joined TikTok’s parent company, China-based ByteDance, as its first chief financial officer (CFO).

In May that year, he was appointed TikTok’s chief executive. TikTok’s former chief executive, Kevin Mayer, had left Walt Disney for the position in May 2020 but quit after three months as the company faced pressure from US lawmakers over security risks.
