Made in China #82 - Alibaba-Employee No. 52 Brian Wong: The Beginnings and Current State of E-Commerce in China
What could be more exciting than being part of the team of Chinese E-Commerce pioneers. Brian Wong was employee no. 52 of the original Alibaba team.
During his sixteen year tenure with the Alibaba Group, Brian led the company's early globalization efforts and served as the Executive Director of the Alibaba Global Leadership Academy (AGLA), and headed Alibaba.com's global sales, marketing, and business development operations in Asia, Europe and the US.
Brian is an author, entrepreneur and investor with over 20 years of management experience in e-commerce and digital media in Greater China, Asia, the US and Europe.
So what made him leave Silicon Valley and join a company that hardly anyone knew at that time? How was Start-up life in Early Hangzhou? And what can the world learn from China’s e-commerce insights.
We hope you enjoy the talk as much as I did. Listen and learn!
