About Jack Ma
A former English teacher, Jack Ma cofounded Alibaba Group, now one of the world's largest e-commerce businesses, in 1999.
The former high-flying billionaire stepped down as Alibaba's executive chairman in 2019.
After approximately a year overseas, Ma returned to China in March 2023 just as Alibaba unveiled a plan to split itself into six businesses.
Ma, whose travels to Japan, Thailand and Europe were tracked by media, made a surprise trip to a school in China the day before Alibaba announced the group split.
