On December 8, the 20th anniversary of the founding of Alipay and Ant Group, Jing Xiandong, chairman and CEO of Ant Group, announced through a letter from all members that Han Xinyi, president of Ant Group, would formally take over the post of CEO of Ant Group from March 1, 2025, take full charge of all businesses and daily management of Ant Group, and report to Jing Xiandong and the Board of Directors. In the future, Jing Xiandong will focus on serving as the chairman and fully support Han Xinyi and the management team.
According to public information, Han Xinyi is 47 years old this year. He joined Ant Group in May 2014 and has served as Vice President of Strategic Investment, CFO, and Executive Director of the Board of Directors. He became the President of Ant Group in March 2024.
On March 19th of this year, Jing Xiandong released a letter to all employees, announcing a new round of organizational structure upgrades and disclosing that Han Xinyi will be appointed as the President of Ant Group, fully responsible for digital payment, digital interconnection, and digital finance businesses. At that time, Ant Group said that Han Xinyi had been deeply involved in the business for many years and played an important role in the strategic decision-making of the group. It was a natural thing that he took the post of president of the group to focus on the "Alipay dual flywheel" strategy.
In the letter from all members, Jing Xiandong believed that since Han Xinyi became the president of the Group in March this year, he has led the team to continuously promote Alipay to make a series of innovative changes.
It is the tradition of Ant Group to pass on the baton to young people at the appropriate time and promote the company's continuous progress through orderly inheritance. In 2016, Peng Lei, Chairman and CEO of Ant Group, handed over the baton of CEO to Jing Xiandong.
