Hugo Barra announces that he is leaving his position as vice president of Xiaomi

At the next MWC to be held in Barcelona at the end of the month, we were waiting see the great Hugo Barra reveal the new Xiaomi Mi 6 with that ability to express himself in public and delight us with a presentation in which he focuses more on the technical than on smearing the product in hand with grandiloquent words; others are the experts in these.

But finally it seems that it will not be like that, since Hugo Barra, exGoogler, has announced that leaves his position as vice president from Xiaomi, although he will continue to be present as a consultant for the firm. A journey of more than three years by Hugo Barra in Chinese lands in which he has left his experience well demonstrated and that he has been able to show Xiaomi what he has to do to conquer the West.

Although the deployment of Xiaomi a la Huawei in the West remains to be seen, Hugo Barra has been a vital man for this company being in charge of trying to get the brand out of the Chinese market, one of the most thriving and in which the big companies almost fight to be the ones that sell the most.

Barra alleges personal reasons for leaving Xiaomi and explains that it has been quite a trip that has taken place from Silicon Valley to go to build from scratch what was a startup to turn it into a larger. He is very satisfied to be able to say that Xiaomi Global is the first baby he has brought into the world.

Although he also makes it very clear that in these past years living in such a unique environment, it has affected his daily life to even see your health harmed. His friends and life are back in Silicon Valley, where he is closest to his family. Seeing all that he has left behind in the past years, he has decided that it was time to return.

Leave a company that is at the perfect time to start your global expansion being a company that has turned India into one of the largest international markets with 1.000 million annual profits, faster than any other company in the history of that country. A Xiaomi that has expanded to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and recently in more than 20 markets such as Russia, Mexico and Poland.

Now we will have to know what will be the next destination by Hugo Barra, since it seems that Google will open its doors to have you back on its site.
