Zhihu hires Sun as CFO amid talk IPO is nigh

Question-and-answer website Zhihu named Sun Wei (pictured) as its new CFO. In addition to handling finance, he will be responsible for human resources, legal issues, and some other operations. Prior, Sun served as the founder and CFO of Mia, a Chinese e-commerce platform specializing in imported parental and baby care products. Sun also has over 10 years' experience in investment banks, and has served Deutsche Bank AG's Hong Kong branch. Analysts said the move was to prepare for Zhihu's possible initial public offering. The company, however, claimed the appointment was to optimize its structure and management team, and has nothing to do with its IPO plan.
