 "alibaba, daniel zhang")
The man who has been anointed as the next executive chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. chose “Free and Unfettered Person” as his company nickname.
It might have been wishful thinking.
Daniel Zhang, 46 years old, an accountant by training and chief executive officer at one of China’s largest internet companies, works most nights till 11 p.m. and spends many weekends networking with other executives, according to a person familiar with Mr. Zhang.
On Monday, Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced that Mr. Zhang would succeed him as executive chairman when Mr. Ma steps down one year from now.
It was hardly a surprising
