This succession plan comes after China’s largest e-commerce company said in March it will restructure its company into six business groups in the most significant reorganization in its history, aiming to reinvigorate the company after slowing economic growth in its home market and tougher Beijing regulations combined to hit its bottom line.
Alibaba shares pared losses after the announcement and were trading down 1% in Hong Kong on Tuesday afternoon.
The company also announced Joe Tsai will take Zhang’s place as the group’s chairman. Brooklyn Nets owner Tsai is currently Alibaba’s executive vice chairman.
Zhang will continue to lead the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group as chairman and chief executive after this change, which the company said will take effect Sept. 10.
