Kevin Jiang is JD.com’s president of international business, managing the Chinese e-commerce giant’s key relationships with brand clients across the fashion, beauty and luxury goods industries in Europe, North America and Asia. After joining the firm in 2018, he secured an impressive list of brand partners for the platform, including Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Bulgari, Berluti, Givenchy Beauty and Tory Burch , at a time when JD.com’s race with arch-rival Alibaba’s Tmall platform was heating up.
