Notably, Jiang Fan, CEO of Alibaba’s e-commerce unit, has returned to the partner committee two years after rejoining as a partner. Why it matters: Alibaba’s partnership structure is the company’s true power center – more influential than board seats or equity stakes. Details:According to Alibaba’s FY2025 annual report, the current partner committee includes Jack Ma, Joe Tsai, Eddie Wu, Jeff Zhang, and Jiang Fan. Following the adjustment, Alibaba’s partnership now stands at 17 members, down from 26 and 28 in the previous two fiscal years. Financially, in FY2025 Alibaba reported RMB 996.3 billion ($139.05 billion) in revenue, up 6% year-on-year, with net profit jumping 77% to RMB 125.9 billion ($17.57 billion).
