“JD.com’s Southeast Asia president has left the China ecommerce giant to join a Singapore-based cloud kitchen startup,” Bloomberg reported.
Details:
- Soon Sze Meng, who worked at JD.com as the firm’s Southeast Asia president for over two years, will join TiffinLabs as its CEO on January 1, 2022.
- Founded in early 2019, TiffinLabs is looking to expand its portfolio of digital restaurant brands to food and beverage operators across markets globally. The company is backed by RHL Ventures, KRK Capital, NewcrestImage, and Phillip Private Equity.
Dive deeper:
- The management change at the Chinese ecommerce major comes after the company told sellers it will withdraw the sale of 87 games, including Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty and Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons, saying they were unapproved titles.
- In August, another former JD.com executive, Alexander Kremer, joined Germany-based VC firm Picus Capital to spearhead the expansion of its operations in China with the establishment of a Beijing office.
