Savio Kwan - Pt1 Career Change and Joining Alibaba

Savio Kwan was the Chief Operations Officer and Board Member of Alibaba.com which was founded by Jack Ma in 1999.

In this part one of the podcast we discuss the challenges of losing your senior executive role and the journey of finding a new role. Savio outlines his experience moves from GE and BTR, moving back to Hong Kong and joining Alibaba as COO and then Chief People Officer.

In part two Savio and I discuss the growth of Alibaba, which is a leading e-commerce, retail and financial corporate. SARS impacted China and Alibaba in 2002 and had a significant affect on Alibaba, e-commerce and life in China. The repercussions accelerated the growth of ecommerce and prepared Asia to deal with the current pandemic.

Thank you to Savio for his great insights and time.
