Alibaba in an early announcement on Monday said that chief executive officer (CEO) Daniel Zhang will succeed Jack Ma as chairman of the board, starting September 10, 2019.

Ma will continue as executive chairman at Alibaba over the next 12 months for a smooth transition of the chairmanship to Zhang, the company said in a statement. After that, he intends to stay on the Alibaba board of directors until the 2020 annual shareholders meeting.
Daniel Zhang joined Alibaba Group in 2007 and was named chief executive officer in May 2015. He serves on Alibaba Group’s board of directors and is chairman of Cainiao Network, a founding member of the Alibaba Partnership and a member of Ant Financial’s investment committee. In this role, Daniel oversaw the operations of all Alibaba Group businesses in China and internationally. Daniel also leads several of Alibaba Group’s strategic investments, including Haier, Intime Retail and Singapore Post.

Daniel first joined the company as chief financial officer of Taobao Marketplace in August 2007. In 2008, he was appointed chief operating officer of Taobao Marketplace and general manager of Taobao Mall. Under Daniel’s leadership, Taobao Mall rapidly became one of Alibaba Group’s most important businesses. When Taobao Mall was rebranded as Tmall and became an independent business unit, Daniel was named president of Tmall. Daniel was the key architect of the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, Alibaba Group’s annual signature event on November 11 and the world’s largest online shopping phenomenon.

Daniel received a Bachelor’s degree in finance from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

In a letter to Alibaba’s customers and shareholders, Ma said the transition “demonstrates that Alibaba has stepped up to the next level of corporate governance from a company that relies on individuals, to one built on systems of organizational excellence and a culture of talent development.”

He added that he plans to continue his role as the founding partner in the Alibaba Partnership, which is a group made up of 36 senior leaders entrusted with the company’s mission, vision and values.

“I also want to return to education, which excites me with so much blessing because this is what I love to do,” he said.

Ma, a former English teacher, co-founded Alibaba in 1999 and is considered one of China’s richest men, with a net worth of $36.6 billion, according to Forbes. Alibaba, based out of Hangzhou, China, started as an e-commerce marketplace and expanded into other business areas, including cloud computing and digital payments through its affiliate Ant Financial. Ma stepped down as chief executive officer in 2013 to dedicate more time to philanthropy through the Jack Ma Foundation.

Last week, a report by The New York Times said that the billionaire was retiring from the company he helped found, and that it would’ve made him the first founder among a generation of prominent Chinese internet entrepreneurs to step down from his company.

On Saturday, the South China Morning Post, which is owned by Alibaba, quoted a spokesman saying the NYT report was factually inaccurate, and taken out of context.

Following speculation about Jack Ma’s imminent retirement, Alibaba Group announced today that its CEO, Daniel Zhang, will succeed Ma as chairman next year. After stepping down as chairman on September 10, 2019 (exactly a year from now), Ma will continue serving as a board member until its annual general shareholders’ meeting in 2020.

After that, Ma will remain a lifetime partner of the Alibaba Partnership, or a group of 36 partners drawn from the senior management ranks of Alibaba Group companies and affiliates. They hold a considerable amount of sway over the company because they have the right to nominate, or in certain situations, appoint up to a simple majority of its board of directors.

Alibaba’s announcement follows reports that Ma’s retirement from the company he co-founded in 1999 as an online marketplace was imminent, with Ma, a former English teacher, planning to dedicate his time to philanthropy in education. Ma downplayed those reports, however, telling the South China Morning Post (which is owned by Alibaba) that instead he will gradually reduce his role in the company through a succession plan.

Ma stepped down as CEO in 2013, handing the position over to Jonathan Lu. Lu was replaced in 2015 by Zhang, Alibaba’s former COO, after Ma reportedly told employees that it’s time for the company to be run by people born in the 1970s and after (Zhang was born in 1972, three years after Lu).

In a letter sent to media outlets today, Ma wrote that Zhang has “demonstrated his superb talent, business acumen and determined leadership” since taking over as CEO. Under his stewardship, Alibaba has seen consistent and sustainable growth for 13 consecutive quarters. His analytical mind is unparalleled, he holds dear our mission and vision, he embraces responsibility with passion, and he has the guts to innovate and test creative business models.”

Ma added that “this transition demonstrates that Alibaba has stepped up to the next level of corporate governance from a company that relies on individuals, to one built on systems of organizational excellence and a culture of talent development.”

Ma also re-emphasized his narrative that his departure from Alibaba Group will be very gradual. “I have put a lot of thought and preparation into this succession plan for 10 years. I am delighted to announce the plan today thanks to the support of the Alibaba Partnership and our board of directors,” he wrote. “I also want to offer special thanks to all Alibaba colleagues and your families, because your trust, support and our joint enterprise over the past 19 years have prepared us for this day with confidence and strength.”

Of his plans after Zhang takes over as chairman next year, Ma said he will continue contributing to the Alibaba Partnership, before adding “I also want to return to education, which excites me with so much blessing because this is what I love to do. The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things – because what if new dreams can be realized?! The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba.”

On September 10, Jack Ma, the Chief Executive of Alibaba Company in China will unveil a succession plan for the biggest e-commerce company in China.

Contrary to the report by the New York Times on Friday, Jack Ma will not be retiring but will still be the Chief Executive of the company.

Ma won't be retiring immediately but will gradually move away from the company. For this, he planned a succession plan which will soon be announced.

The South China Morning Post reported on Saturday that the article stating the Ma was 'stepping down' to 'retire' was taken out of context and was factually wrong, according to a spokesperson for Alibaba.

"There are a lot of things I can learn from Bill Gates. I can never be as rich, but one thing I can do better is to retire earlier," Ma said during an interview last week with Bloomberg. "I think someday, and soon, I'll go back to teaching. This is something I think I can do much better than being CEO of Alibaba."

When asked if that could happen this year, Ma just shrugged and smiled, according to the article.

Ma's plans for Alibaba includes expanding the company to other countries. According to reports, Ma will be travelling to Russia next week to meet with Mail.ru, the internet company owned by Alisher Usmanov and the wealth fund Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).

Later, Ma is scheduled to go to Cape Town to uphold his promise to help South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to set up technology workshops for children.
