Follow on Google News | ![]() Knight Bridge Investment Consultants Limited – Jack Ma to Outline Succession Plans This Today?Whilst the news of Jack Ma's retirement plans were reported last week, Knight Bridge Investment looks to see what the tech mogul will announce, later today regarding his departure.
On Sunday, The South China Morning Post quoted an Alibaba spokesman saying that a published report by The New York Times declaring that Ma planned to retire was factually inaccurate and taken out of context. The Times story said that the executive planned to focus on philanthropy in education. Instead, on Monday Ma is set to unveil his succession plans to groom other executives to eventually take the helm of the company, the SCMP reported. Ma will stay on as executive chairman while the strategy, which will take place over time, is carried out, it added. The announcement is set to coincide with Ma's 54th birthday. Ma, who created Alibaba in 1999, is considered China's richest man, with a net worth of more than $40 billion. This news will no doubt have some investors on edge, however Knight Bridge Investment Consultants believes the move will be a hugely positive action. The fact that the founder is more than likely to still have an active role within the organization is key and will be paramount to their expansion plans in India and Europe.
