Lynk & Co Names Gan Jiayue as Chairman in Management Reshuffle

Recently, Lynk & Co Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. completed a series of important business registration changes.

The company’s legal representative was changed from An Conghui to Gan Jiayue. An Conghui stepped down as chairman and was succeeded by Gan Jiayue. Lin Jiexin, Senior Vice President of Geely Auto Group, newly joined the board of directors as a director.

It is worth noting that An Conghui, Gan Jiayue, and Lin Jie are all core figures at Geely Holding.

Public information shows that the successor, Gan Jiayue, joined Geely in 2003 after graduating from university, starting in the financial system, and served successively as financial manager of subsidiaries, head of the group’s financial management department, senior vice president and general manager of the procurement company.

Subsequently, in March 2021, Gan Jiayue succeeded An Conghui as CEO of Geely Auto Group, becoming Geely’s first post-80s group CEO, with overall responsibility for Geely Auto’s vehicle business operations, product planning, new energy transition, and brand operations.

This management change takes place at a historically significant moment — 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Lynk & Co brand.

As a key piece in the Geely Holding landscape, Lynk & Co stands at a challenging crossroads:

On one hand, cumulative sales of the brand since the launch of its first model in 2017 have surpassed 1.81 million units, with full-year sales in 2025 reaching 350,495 units, a year-on-year increase of 22.8%, setting a new annual sales record. On the other hand, since the beginning of 2026, affected by product mix, market competition, and other factors, Lynk & Co has experienced month-on-month sales declines for four consecutive months, with May sales of 20,732 units, a year-on-year drop of 25%.

The new leadership team faces a breakthrough battle that bridges the past and the future.

It is worth noting that in the face of increasingly fierce price competition in the industry, Lin Jiexin stated that Lynk & Co will not participate in disorderly price wars; during industry downturns, it is even more important to solidify product, service, and user system capabilities.
