In an emotional LinkedIn post, Chuck said “It’s with mixed emotions that I bid farewell to my incredible journey at TikTok, where I’ve spent nearly four incredible years”.

Chuck will be starting a new position as VP of people at Buldkite.
On her LinkedIn, Chuck said “reflecting on my time at TikTok fills me with immense pride. From being part of a tight-knit team of 30 to overseeing a dynamic workforce of over 300 across AUNZ, our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary 🎢 .”
“Together, we’ve propelled exponential growth and expanded our footprint with the establishment of five offices throughout the region, including ventures in Melbourne and Auckland.”
