burst! Zhang Yong announced Alibaba’s organizational changes and set the keyword for 2023 as “advance”. According to the all-staff email released by Zhang Yong, the main changes are as follows:

1. Zhang Yong concurrently serves as President of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. Zhang Jianfeng no longer serves as Alibaba Cloud Intelligent President, but continues to serve as Dean of Damo Academy.

2. Alibaba welcomes its first CTO born in the 1980s, Wu Mingze, and former CTO Cheng Li will continue to assist Zhang Yong in his work as a technical consultant.

3, Jiang Fang succeeded Tong Wenhong and served as Alibaba CPO.

This adjustment fully reflects Alibaba Group’s ambitions in the cloud business. The fact that the group’s boss concurrently serves as the cloud business CEO is a very clear signal in itself. In the future, Alibaba will definitely continue to increase its investment in the cloud field, and the cloud security issues that users are most worried about will also be raised to an unprecedented level within the group.

In fact, the digital transformation process of enterprises to "migrate to the cloud and use data to empower intelligence" has entered the deepening stage of using data to empower intelligence after going through the early stages of migrating to the cloud, and has truly become a CEO project. This time Alibaba CEO Zhang Yong personally takes charge of Alibaba Cloud business, which can be said to be just in time.

From Wang Jian to Hu Xiaoming , and then to Zhang Jianfeng, the past three generations of Alibaba Cloud presidents have turned what others call a "liar project" into a global business, ranking first in Asia-Pacific and third in the world. Zhang Yong, as the leader of the group and concurrently as president at this time, will surely accelerate the transformation of Alibaba Cloud's technology and Alibaba Group's experience into the enterprise's cloud-based intelligent productivity.

After years of exploration, Alibaba Cloud has found its own path. The self-developed cloud computing system with Feitian + Yitian + CIPU as the core has become a model in the industry. After the cloud-nail integration strategy was proposed, the business scale has been expanded unprecedentedly. However, as Alibaba Cloud becomes a global leader, it faces increasing market competition. How to continue to expand business scale and maintain technological leadership after completing the second technology curve layout has become the first big problem facing Alibaba Cloud.

Everyone thought that CEO Zhang Yong, who was a CFO, would only pursue stability. Unexpectedly, in the face of unprecedented competition, Zhang Yong shouted the word "progress" and served as president himself. It’s unexpected at first glance, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. Alibaba Cloud has the backing of Damo Academy, an innovative motor that can continuously output new technologies, and it is impossible not to get ahead. Alibaba Cloud's star products, Yitian CPU and AI chip Hanguang, are both derived from flat head brother incubated by Damo Academy. Therefore, after the new adjustments, Alibaba Cloud will definitely move faster than before. It is expected that Alibaba Cloud under the leadership of Zhang Yong can lead China's cloud computing to a new height.
