She is the deputy chair of the board and chief financial officer (CFO) of Huawei, which was founded by her father Ren Zhengfei.","summary_more":["On 1 December 2018, Meng was detained and interrogated at Vancouver International Airport by the Canada Border Services Agency and subsequently placed under house arrest on extradition request by United States Department of Justice under the indictment of bank and wire fraud regarding financial transactions in violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran by Skycom, which had functioned as Huawei's Iran-based subsidiary. On 24 September 2021, the DOJ announced it had reached a plea bargain with Meng to resolve the case through a deferred prosecution agreement, and it would move to dismiss all charges against Meng when the deferral period ended on 21 December 2022, on the condition that Meng was not charged with any other crime before then. Meng was released from house arrest and left Canada for China on 24 September 2021. On 1 December 2022, the prosecution asked a judge to dismiss bank fraud and other charges against her and the judge dismissed the charges the next day."],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"13 February 1972","date":"1972-02-13"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Chengdu","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30002"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P19"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"People's Republic of China","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q148"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"entrepreneur","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q131524"},{"text":"businessperson","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q43845"},{"text":"banker","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q806798"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P106"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10905371"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P69"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Liu Xiaozong","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107227318"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P26"}},{"key":"website","label":"Official website","values":[{"text":"huawei.com/en/about-huawei/executives/board-of-directors/meng-wanzhou","url":"https://www.huawei.com/en/about-huawei/executives/board-of-directors/meng-wanzhou"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P856"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"vice president (since 2018)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42178","start":"2018"},{"text":"chief financial officer (since 2011)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q623268","start":"2011"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Wanzhou","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866","https://www.huawei.com/en/about-huawei/executives/board-of-directors/meng-wanzhou"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Meng Wanzhou born?","a":"Meng Wanzhou was born on 13 February 1972 in Chengdu."},{"q":"What positions has Meng Wanzhou held?","a":"Positions held by Meng Wanzhou include: vice president (since 2018); chief financial officer (since 2011)."},{"q":"Where did Meng Wanzhou study?","a":"Meng Wanzhou was educated at Huazhong University of Science and Technology."}],"related":[{"name":"Hosni Mubarak","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hosni-mubarak"},{"name":"Anwar Sadat","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/anwar-sadat"},{"name":"Mohammad Mokhber","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohammad-mokhber"},{"name":"Dick Cheney","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/dick-cheney"},{"name":"Dan Quayle","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/dan-quayle"},{"name":"Marie-Christine Coisne-Roquette","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/marie-christine-coisne-roquette"},{"name":"Indra Nooyi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/indra-nooyi"},{"name":"Safra Catz","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/safra-catz"},{"name":"John Allan","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/john-allan"},{"name":"Jean-Baptiste Kempf","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/jean-baptiste-kempf"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/meng-wanzhou-378d4d9dc8.jpg","width":399,"height":532,"license":"CC BY 3.0","credit":"中国新闻网","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%E5%AD%9F%E6%99%9A%E8%88%9F_Meng_Wanzhou_2022.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Meng Wanzhou","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Wanzhou","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q59485866","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59485866","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: 孟晚舟 Meng Wanzhou 2022.jpg by 中国新闻网 (CC BY 3.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%E5%AD%9F%E6%99%9A%E8%88%9F_Meng_Wanzhou_2022.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Meng Wanzhou, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
