Alibaba is continuing its international push after hiring a Goldman Sachs veteran to lead its international business
Alibaba is continuing its international push after hiring a Goldman Sachs veteran to lead its international business. Michael Evans, a thirty-year finance executive, has joined the company as its new president.
Evans, who left Goldman at the end of 2013 after 20 years with the firm, is not a new face per se, he’s been a member of Alibaba’s board since its U.S. public listing last year. In his new role, Evans — who spent the last nine years at Goldman running the firm’s Asian operations — will be responsible for “leading and executing Alibaba’s international growth strategy,” as it continues to push its network of commerce services to retailers and merchants located outside of China.
