SHANGHAI -- Alibaba Group Holding looks to usher in a new era of expansion with a former student of founder Jack Ma in charge of its all-important Chinese e-commerce operations.
Trudy Dai, one of Alibaba's 18 founding members, will take charge of a new China digital commerce team in January, essentially replacing Jiang Fan as head of domestic e-commerce. Jiang will instead lead the international digital commerce team.
