Mr. Richard Liu will remain as the chairman of the Board and continue to focus on guiding the Companys long-term strategies, mentoring younger management, and contributing to the revitalization of rural areas.
Mr. Lei Xu has been with JD.com for over a decade. In his most recent role as president of JD.com, he was in charge of the operation and collaborative development of various business units of the Company. Particularly, under his leadership, the Company successfully navigated the evolving external environment with resilient performance, while maintained strategic focus and continued to create value for users and business partners. Prior to that, Mr. Xu held various senior roles in the Company, including CEO of JD Retail, Chief Marketing Officer of JD.com, head of JD Wireless and head of marketing department. During his tenure as CEO of JD Retail, Mr. Xu formulated the business philosophy of trust-based and customer-centric value creation, led JD Retail to achieve high-quality growth for consecutive years, and guided the visionary moves to develop the supply chain middle platform and omni-channel strategy, which accelerated the cultivation of the Companys future growth drivers. In addition, Mr. Xu established JDs marketing and public relations system and the platform operation system, and propelled JDs mobile-based strategic transformation. Mr. Xu also led the launch of JD 618 Grand Promotion and drove the opening-up of JDs supply chain capabilities to empower the society. Mr. Xu currently serves as a director of Dada and ATRenew.
I believe that JD has built a strong footing in the industry with sound management structure and a large number of excellent business leaders, said Mr. Richard Liu, chairman of JD.com. Lei is highly regarded both inside and outside the company, and has been instrumental to driving JDs consistent stellar business performance and formulating strategic decisions. Ill devote more of my time to JDs long-term strategies and future drivers as we continue to work on the most challenging yet valuable things.
Its an incredible honor and privilege to assume the role of CEO of JD.com and lead such talented and dedicated management and employees, said Mr. Lei Xu. In the past 19 years, Richard has established and upheld JDs strategic positioning as a supply chain-based technology and service provider and the principle of doing business the right way, setting a strong foundation for our future endeavors. I believe Richard has built the most precious assets for JD. I share his business philosophy and commitment, and will continue to create value to our users, business partners and the society. Together with the leadership team, I will further build on that and drive high-quality and sustainable growth of the company going forward.
