According to internal sources at China Telecom Group, Huang Xudan, former general manager of the group's audit department, has stepped down from her position and been reassigned as a full-time external director for a state-owned enterprise. Born in 1969, Huang is currently 56 years old. Typically, second-tier executives at China Telecom transition to non-leadership roles at 58, making Huang's reassignment at 56 somewhat unusual. However, it has now been clarified that she has taken on a role with substantial authority as a full-time external director, distinct from ordinary external directors.
Huang Xudan is a highly experienced financial executive within China Telecom, though she began her career at China Unicom, where she was promoted early to deputy general manager of the group's finance department. Around 2008, when China Unicom's CDMA network was transferred to China Telecom, Huang moved to China Telecom's system and assumed the role of deputy general manager of the group's finance department. At the time, Gao Jinxing served as the general manager of the department, followed by Tang Ke and later Yan Hang. Huang gradually deepened her seniority, ranking just below deputy general manager Sun Dawei.
In 2021, at the age of 52, Huang was promoted to chairman of China Telecom's financing leasing subsidiary, marking her entry into second-tier executive leadership. She later concurrently took on the role of general manager of China Telecom's finance company. In 2023, at 54, she succeeded Han Fang as general manager of the group's audit department. Now, two years later, Huang has stepped down, with Han Fang returning to resume the position.
In recent years, Huang has also held key roles such as chairman of the supervisory board for China Communications Services and Tianyi Cloud Technology, underscoring her strong operational capabilities and the group's trust in her leadership. Throughout her career, Huang has specialized in financial management and audit work, reflecting her disciplined and dedicated professional demeanor.
Disclosures show that as supervisory board chairman, Huang earned a pre-tax annual salary of 749,700 yuan in 2024, which is relatively high among second-tier executives. Her latest appointment highlights the recognition of her years of contributions and expertise.
