Shou Chew, the CEO of TikTok, recently responded to inquiries from the US House Committee on Energy and Commerce about the app’s potential threat to national security. The questioning came in light of a suggestion that Washington is considering banning the popular app.
Shou Chew’s family emerged during his appearance before congress. Let’s take a closer look at Shou Chew’s wife, Vivian Kao.
Shou Chew met his wife, Vivian Kao, in 2008 at Harvard Business School.
Shou Chew and Vivian Kao began dating after meeting at Harvard Business School in 2008. Kao is Taiwanese-American.
She joined HBS after studying economics and Chinese studies at Wellesley College from 2000 to 2004. Shou enrolled at the institution after working for Goldman Sachs in London for several years.
The couple married and have two children, whose identities are a mystery. The couple’s children emerged during an interview on The New York Times‘ 2022 DealBook Summit, in which Shou said that his children are too young to use TikTok.
During Shou’s congressional hearing, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán asked Shou why she doesn’t allow her children, ages 8 and 6, to use TikTok. Shō explained:
“I’ve seen these news articles. Let me address that. My children live in Singapore and in Singapore, we have no experience with children under 13 years of age. If they lived here in the United States, I would let them use the 13 and under experience.”
Kao and Shou are successful in their careers. Her Linkedin page of hers states that she works in Singapore as the CEO of Tamarind Global and is an independent non-executive director of Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited. Kao is also on the Board of Trustees of Wellesley College, her alma mater, which she joined in July 2022.
According the times of the strait, Kao and Shou volunteer and donate to the Harvard Business School. “We want to benefit as many people as possible with our support,” Shou said. “We want HBS leadership to decide where to allocate our contributions. We believe that the school has the capacity to amplify what we contribute”.
