Kevin Mayer is leaving the video-sharing app at the centre of controversy amid US-China tensions.
"Against this backdrop, and as we expect to reach a resolution very soon, it is with a heavy heart that I wanted to let you all know that I have decided to leave the company," Mr Mayer added.
"We appreciate that the political dynamics of the last few months have significantly changed what the scope of Kevin's role would be going forward, and fully respect his decision. We thank him for his time at the company and wish him well," a spokesman for TikTok said. TikTok also said it appreciated that this meant the scope of Mr Mayer's role would change going forward and that it fully respected his decision.The thinking was that he would be able to negotiate with a tough-on-China Trump administration better than perhaps a Chinese chief executive - and that would help smooth TikTok's path into one of its biggest markets - the US.
