Blake Chandlee, TikTok’s President - Global Business Solutions, has stepped down, media reports stated.

Blake Chandlee will step down next month amid a company reorganisation. He held the role since April 2019.

This marks another high-profile exit as the platform faces a potential ban in the United States on April 5. Reports quoted an internal memo stating that Chandlee, who oversaw global advertising sales and marketing, will transition into an advisory role.

The US government has expressed concerns over data privacy and national security due to TikTok's Chinese ownership. According to reports, this leadership change comes as TikTok faces a looming deadline of April 5, by which it must divest its US operations or face a ban.
