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 2023 just as Alibaba unveiled a plan to split itself into six businesses.

But that overhaul now appears to be on hold after the company walked back from the IPO plans of its Cainiao logistics unit and cloud computing arm.

Ma remains a spiritual leader, and often encourages employees to innovate and change at a time of heightened market competition.
