Investing.com -- Professional Diversity Network Inc (NASDAQ:IPDN) stock surged 19.1% following the appointment of Xun Wu as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective July 22, 2025.

The company, which specializes in workforce innovation and AI-powered solutions, is positioning this leadership change as a catalyst for growth and global expansion. Wu brings extensive experience in digital content, mass communication, and media system management from his previous role as Chief Editor at a News Media Center involved in China’s "Digital City" initiatives.

Howard Zhang, Chairman of the Board, highlighted Wu’s experience in managing media ecosystems and engaging mass audiences as key assets for the company’s plans to expand AI capabilities and global reach.

The leadership transition comes after recent financial moves to optimize the company’s capital structure, including the retirement of all outstanding warrants to eliminate dilutive overhang.

Under Wu’s direction, Professional Diversity Network plans to expand internationally, with particular focus on the UAE, where Wu maintains collaborative relationships with investment funds and AI companies. The company aims to leverage Dubai’s position as a tax-advantaged, pro-Web3 ecosystem to launch new fintech and Web3 services.

Professional Diversity Network operates across several verticals including talent acquisition through TalentAlly and the International Association of Women, remote workforce solutions via RemoteMore, and Web3 digital assets through QBSG/Wynpay.io, which holds a Level 4 VFA license from Malta.

The company has indicated plans to deepen its development in artificial intelligence while pursuing growth in intelligent recruitment and Web 3.0 initiatives through strategic partnerships and potential equity investments.
