JD.com appoints new president as founder steps back from day-to-day operations
创始人退出日常运营，京东任命新总裁
JD.com's founder and CEO Richard Liu is stepping back from day-to-day operations while the Chinese e-commerce giant said it has created a new president role. Xu Lei, who was previously CEO of JD Retail, will take up the role of president and take over day-to-day operations of JD.com and collaborative development of various business units of the company.
京东创始人兼首席执行官刘强东将退出日常运营，而这家中国电商巨头表示，它已经设立了一个新的总裁职位。此前担任京东零售CEO的徐雷将担任总裁一职，接管京东的日常运营以及公司各业务部门的协同发展。
Meanwhile, Liu will remain chairman and CEO but will switch focus to formulating the e-commerce giant’s long-term strategies, mentoring younger management and “contributing to the revitalization of rural areas,” the company said. The latest moves comes as China’s technology giants, including Alibaba, ByteDance and Pinduoduo, have undergone leadership reshuffles in the past few years, with founders taking more of a long-term strategy role.
与此同时，该公司表示，刘强东将继续担任董事长兼首席执行官，但将把重点转移到制定这家电子商务巨头的长期战略、指导更年轻的管理层以及"为农村地区的振兴做出贡献"上。最近几年，包括阿里巴巴、字节跳动和拼多多在内的中国科技巨头经历了领导层的调整，创始人更多地承担了长期战略角色。
“JD has a sound management structure with a large number of excellent business leaders, who, represented by Mr. Lei Xu, have strong belief in JD’s long-term business philosophy, proven leadership capability and extensive industry experience,” Liu said in a statement. Liu still owns around 80% of the voting rights of JD.com. After starting the company in 2004, JD has grown into one of China’s biggest e-commerce companies and has expanded into areas including health and logistics.
刘强东在一份声明中表示：“京东拥有健全的管理架构，拥有一大批优秀的商业领袖，他们以徐雷先生为代表，对京东的长期经营理念有着坚定的信念、并且拥有公认的领导能力和丰富的行业经验。”刘强东目前仍拥有京东约80%的投票权。自2004年创办公司以来，京东已成长为中国最大的电子商务公司之一，并已扩展到包括健康和物流在内的领域。
