BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) – Alibaba.com has appointed Maggie Wu as its new chief financial officer, a spokeswoman for the Chinese internet firm told XFN-Asia.

Wu will also join the company’s board as an executive director, the spokeswoman said.

Wu will commence duties as CFO at the end of this month.

Before joining Alibaba.com, Wu worked as a partner in audit practice at KPMG in Beijing.

Previously, Alibaba Group CFO Joseph Tsai also acted as the finance chief of Alibaba.com’s operations.
