With over 30 years of experience in the information and communications technology industry, Ken helps set the strategic direction of the company and has been instrumental to Huawei’s growth in global markets.
Ken Hu joined Huawei in 1990. Since then, he has served in a number of leadership positions, including President of Huawei’s China market, Regional President of Huawei Latin America, President of Global Sales, Chairman of the Board of Huawei USA, Chief Sales and Service Officer, and Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer.

Huawei is quickly changing the luxury car market. In a massive surprise, the technology giant’s high-end electric car, the Maextro S800, has become a massive hit in China. New sales data shows that this smart car is now selling much better than legendary luxury cars like the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and the BMW 7 Series.
For a very long time, the most expensive car market in China belonged completely to foreign brands. However, the Maextro S800, which costs around $104,000, has successfully broken that streak.
During recent months, the car did not just beat individual rivals; it managed to sell more units than several top German luxury cars combined. Total sales for this premium car line have already passed 17,000 vehicles in its very first year on the market.
The manufacturing setup behind the car uses a unique partnership system. A car company named JAC Motors builds the physical vehicle at a modern factory in China, but Huawei designs all the smart software and digital systems inside.
This approach is very similar to how the brand makes its smartphones. Instead of selling vehicles at normal car dealerships, the company displays the luxury sedan directly inside its premium flagship stores alongside its latest phones and smartwatches.
Huawei Maextro S800 ultra
Amazing smart features replace old luxury traditions
Experts point out that local car buyers are walking away from old heritage brands because they want advanced digital features. The Maextro S800 is a very long car that treats the inside cabin like a smart office or theater.
The doors open automatically when a camera sees a simple hand gesture from the user. Inside, passengers in the back seat get a massive 40-inch movie projection screen, a powerful 40-speaker sound system, crystal buttons, and a beautiful star-lit ceiling that looks like a Rolls-Royce.
On the hardware side, the car comes as a pure electric vehicle or as a long-range hybrid model that puts out up to 852 horsepower. More importantly, it features the company’s best self-driving software and smart dashboard tools.
Because of trade restrictions, this high-end car is not coming to Western markets anytime soon. However, inside China, the brand is moving very fast. The company plans to release new luxury SUVs and large family vans later this year, and an upcoming ultra-premium model could push prices close to $300,000 by mid-summer.
Huawei recently announced major global partnership with Keyrus for data and AI growth
Huawei is expanding its software reach across international business markets. The company has officially announced a brand-new global alliance with Keyrus, a well-known international leader in data management and digital business transformation.
The partnership aims to help businesses adopt smart cloud solutions much faster than before.
The big announcement was made during the company’s major Intelligent Finance Summit held at its beautiful new Lianqiu Lake Campus in Shanghai.
More than 800 banking experts and technology delegates from over 60 countries traveled to the event, which focused heavily on using automated software systems to run modern corporate workspaces.
Through this new agreement, Keyrus will act as a major development partner for the cloud ecosystem of the company. The two firms will work closely to design, build, and deploy data tools for clients across Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.
These specialized data tools will combine the company’s high-speed cloud systems with advanced sorting software.
Targeting the banking sector with advanced cloud architecture
The primary focus of this joint tech venture will be the global financial services industry. Keyrus plans to use the company’s special DataArts platform to build incredibly secure and fast data spaces. These digital systems are built from the ground up to support modern corporate applications, allowing companies to quickly extract value from their customer information safely.
Because of this teamwork, Keyrus has officially joined the company’s elite digital banking ecosystem, known as the RONGHAI Program. This special industry group helps software and hardware makers build unified technical networks for global markets.
Representatives from both brands shared that they are excited to bring these automated cloud tools to market immediately, helping businesses around the world transition smoothly into the modern corporate tech era.
Huawei is seeing a massive jump in demand for its high-tech computer parts. Around the world, it is becoming much harder for businesses to buy computer chips from overseas makers. Because of this, major software companies are working fast to make sure their programs run smoothly on hardware made by Huawei.
In a major update, a well-known AI development group called DeepSeek officially placed the computer chips of the company on the same level as global industry leaders.
Achieving equal status in official tech reports
Inside the newly released DeepSeek-V4 technical report, the software firm officially listed the Huawei Ascend chip series right alongside top international processors.
This is the first time a major independent software creator has officially stated that a chip from the company works just as well as the best global hardware in a formal document.
The report confirms that the newest AI models can now run completely on the Ascend computing platform without any issues. This means business clients can safely run heavy computer tasks using hardware made entirely by the company. This major milestone is creating a lot of new interest from internet firms, banks, and hospitals that need a stable and reliable choice for their data centers.
A big shift for data centers and computer systems
To help businesses manage these large new data workloads, the storage division of the company also launched a brand-new data center system. This setup includes a special storage box called OceanStor Pacific, which can hold massive amounts of information inside a very small space. It also uses a fresh memory system designed to cut down on long loading delays when users search for data.
The company noted that more than 80 major AI models are now set up to run perfectly on its chip architecture. Industry experts point out that this fast growth is happening because local businesses are working together and using a large wave of engineering talent.
Current market studies show that these partnerships will allow local data centers to become fully independent over the next two years. The company remains highly focused on working with others, inviting scientists and engineers from around the world to build a strong system around its growing hardware lineup.
