CNBC AI News July 7th, 2024 — Whispers are circulating in the tech industry that Wang Shuai, the former top PR executive at Alibaba, may be making a comeback within the e-commerce giant, mirroring a more visible presence of company co-founder Jack Ma across various Alibaba campuses. Sources suggest Shuai could lend his expertise as a consultant, particularly in managing public relations for Taobao Flash Sales.
The buzz intensified as Shuai appeared to emerge from a semi-retired state, actively sharing Taobao Flash Sales content on social media, hinting at a potential return to active engagement.
When asked about these developments, Shuai offered a measured response: “It’s hardly surprising. I’ve always been a consultant, and it’s natural for me to lend a hand when needed.”
He further emphasized his long-standing commitment to the company, stating, “I’ve been with Alibaba for twenty years; it’s only human nature to contribute.” Shuai also noted that his role as Vice Chairman of Alibaba Public Welfare has another five years remaining in its term.
A review of Shuai’s background reveals a career marked by significant contributions. A graduate of Shandong Normal University with a degree in Chinese literature, he holds the esteemed position of an Alibaba Honorary Partner.
His career trajectory began in journalism, serving at Qilu Evening News and Jinan Times from 1997 to 2000. In 2000, he moved to Beijing to become the Editor-in-Chief of TOM News Channel.
Shuai ascended to become Alibaba Group’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Chairman of the Public Relations Committee in 2011.
He stepped down from his role as Chairman of Alibaba’s Public Relations Committee in 2022.
In 2022, Wang Shuai was recognized for his substantial wealth, ranking 3207th on the Hurun Global Rich List with an estimated fortune of 6.3 billion RMB.
