On June 30, "Career Bonus" exclusively learned that He Guoshuai, the general manager of the intelligent terminal industry department of Zhipu, is about to leave. "He is currently going through the relevant resignation procedures." After leaving, He Guoshuai will join the startup company of Zhang Fan, the former COO of Zhipu, as a co-founder and be responsible for commercialization-related work.
"Career Bonus" contacted Zhipu AI for verification, but Zhipu AI has not responded yet.
He Guoshuai is the general manager of the intelligent terminal industry department of Zhipu. He once served as the person in charge of Zhipu AI's commercialization in South China. He joined Zhipu AI in July 2023 and reported to Zhang Fan, the COO of Zhipu.
He Guoshuai played a relatively important role in Zhipu's commercialization. A person familiar with the matter told "Career Bonus": "When He Guoshuai proposed to resign this time, many VPs of Zhipu took turns to dissuade him." An insider once said that when He Guoshuai was dispatched to South China, he improved Zhipu's performance in the South China region from the last place to the first place in six months. He also has a relatively high evaluation within Zhipu: "The teams he leads are basically top-selling teams. He is handsome and highly self-driven."
He Guoshuai has worked in companies such as Sensors Data and Xiyun International. When He Guoshuai was at Sensors Data, he worked with Wei Wei, the former commercialization partner of MiniMax. He performed excellently in sales and market development, ecological planning, and channel expansion.
A person familiar with the matter told "Career Bonus" that He Guoshuai has currently decided to start a business with Zhang Fan, and the startup project has already obtained seed customers.

Previously, "Career Bonus" exclusively learned that Zhang Fan, the COO of Zhipu AI, left the company in June and continued to start a business in the field of AI Agent. Regarding Zhang Fan's departure to start a business, Zhipu AI officially responded: "Zhang Fan's startup project after leaving is also a part of Zhipu's MaaS (Model as a Service) platform ecosystem, which helps Zhipu's models complete the last-mile transformation. His new project has received investment support from Zhipu."
At the beginning of this year, there was a change in Zhipu's commercialization department: there was a small-scale "personnel flow". Although Zhang Peng and Zhang Fan still jointly managed the commercialization, the businesses under their management were reorganized. The specific division method no longer followed the ToB/ToG logic. CEO Zhang Peng managed some businesses + branch companies, and COO Zhang Fan managed some businesses + regional branch companies.
There was an organizational structure adjustment at the beginning of the year, followed by a mid-year performance appraisal. A person familiar with the matter analyzed to "Career Bonus" that there may be frequent adjustments in Zhipu's management in July, and the specific situation remains to be observed.
