"Queen employee" returns to TCL
5 July 2007
TCL has appointed Wu Shihong, who in the late 1990s was known as the "Queen employee" in the IT industry in China, as its independent non-executive board member, Economic Observer reported (in Chinese). Wu had worked for TCL in 1999 as vice president, leaving unexpectedly in 2002. She gained a reputation as something of a legend in Chinese business circles in her experience at TCL as well as at Microsoft China, where she served as managing director. TCL declined to disclose Wu's salary.
