#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!
