我公司原营销高管陈某，月薪人民币十万元。但近期突然离职，有员工传来消息说他自己创业，做原来的产品，挖现有公司的

客户。老板得知以后，非常生气，决定让我们人力资源与法务团队一起去调查。那么，高管离职创业，是否违反竞业限制呢？

高管离职创业是否违反竞业限制，主要取决于是否存在有效的竞业限制协议或条款。

如果高管在任职期间与公司签订了包含竞业限制的劳动合同或保密协议，并且该协议中明确规定了离职后的竞业限制义务（包

括地域、期限和范围等），那么高管在离职后创业时，若其业务范围与原公司存在竞争关系，则可能构成对竞业限制义务的违反。

此外，即使没有明确签订竞业限制协议，但如果高管作为公司的高级管理人员，在职期间负有忠实义务和竞业禁止义务，那么

其在离职后利用公司商业秘密从事竞业行为或利用关联交易损害公司利益，也可能被视为违反竞业限制义务。

综上所述，高管离职创业是否违反竞业限制，需要根据具体情况来判断。如果高管与公司之间存在有效的竞业限制协议或条款，

且高管在离职后的创业行为符合该协议或条款中规定的竞业限制内容，那么其创业行为就可能构成对竞业限制义务的违反。因此，

高管在离职前应仔细审查与公司之间的协议或合同，确保自己的创业行为不会违反任何竞业限制义务。

Our company's former marketing executive, Mr. Chen, has a monthly salary of RMB 100000. But recently he 

suddenly resigned, and some employees came to say that he started his own business, created the original 

product, and recruited existing company customers. After learning about it, the boss was very angry and 

decided to have our human resources and legal teams investigate together. So, does it violate non compete 

restrictions for executives to resign and start businesses?

Whether the departure of executives and entrepreneurship violates non compete restrictions mainly depends 

on the existence of effective non compete agreements or clauses.

If a senior executive signs a labor contract or confidentiality agreement with the company that includes non 

compete restrictions during their tenure, and the agreement clearly stipulates the non compete obligations 

after resignation (including geography, duration, and scope, etc.), then when the executive starts a business 

after resignation, if their business scope competes with the original company, it may constitute a violation of 

the non compete obligations.

In addition, even if a non compete agreement is not explicitly signed, if executives, as senior management 

personnel of the company, have fiduciary and non compete obligations during their tenure, then their use 

of company trade secrets to engage in non compete activities or use related party transactions to harm the 

interests of the company after resignation may also be considered a violation of non compete obligations.

In summary, whether the departure of executives for entrepreneurship violates non compete restrictions 

needs to be judged based on specific circumstances. If there is a valid non compete agreement or clause 

between the executive and the company, and the executive's entrepreneurial behavior after resignation 

complies with the non compete content stipulated in the agreement or clause, then their entrepreneurial 

behavior may constitute a violation of the non compete obligation. Therefore, executives should carefully 

review agreements or contracts with the company before leaving to ensure that their entrepreneurial 

activities do not violate any non compete obligations.
