HONG KONG -- Hong Kong sustainability startup MioTech has tapped a former finance head at Chinese e-commerce group Pinduoduo to help it become "IPO ready" as it eyes an expansion into Southeast Asia.
Tian Xu, also a former finance director at Chinese search engine Baidu, joined the HSBC-backed MioTech last month as its new chief operating officer, the company told Nikkei Asia on Wednesday. He will also be in charge of finance at the startup, which uses artificial intelligence to generate data for asset managers and investors around Asia.
