Jiang Guofei, the vice president of Ant Group, has resigned, leading Ant Digital Technology to complete a capital increase of 2 billion yuan.

On June 13th, according to the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" news, due to personal life and work planning, Jiang Guofei, the former vice president of Ant Group and president of Ant Digital Technology, has resigned.

Ant Digital Technology, the technology commercialization division of Ant Group, has been operating independently, and its main body, AntChain (Shanghai) Digital Technology Co., Ltd., has completed a capital increase of 2 billion yuan. Meanwhile, Zhao Wenbiao, the former president of the Greater Security Business Group, has taken on the role of CEO, and Ni Xingjun, the former CTO of Ant Group, has become the chairman.

According to public information, Jiang Guofei graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D. After his Ph.D., he went abroad for further studies and completed his postdoctoral research at Dartmouth College in the United States. In June 2004, Jiang Guofei joined NEC Research Institute USA, serving as a senior researcher, department head, and vice president.

In 2017, Jiang Guofei joined Ant Group and took on the role of vice president of the group, focusing on the innovation and development of blockchain technology. Subsequently, in September 2019, he was promoted to president of Ant Group's Intelligent Technology Business Group, officially becoming the leader of the AntChain technology division. During this period, Jiang Guofei led his team to successfully launch the Trusple platform built on AntChain technology.

In mid-March of this year, Jing Xiandong, the chairman and CEO of Ant Group, issued a letter to all employees announcing a new round of organizational restructuring: Among them, Jing Xiandong and Yang Peng took on the roles of chairman and CEO of Ant International respectively; Ni Xingjun, the former CTO of Ant Group, became the chairman of OceanBase and Ant Digital Technology, with Yang Bing and Zhao Wenbiao as their respective CEOs.

In the letter to all employees, Jing Xiandong said that this organizational upgrade is aimed at further accelerating the pace of reform and promoting Ant Group's three strategies: "AI First", "Alipay Double Flywheel", and "Accelerated Globalization".

Ant International, OceanBase, and Ant Digital Technology have embarked on their respective journeys of independent operation. This decision undoubtedly increases the responsibility of each company to move forward independently. Facing the future, how to more efficiently promote business monetization and inject strong growth momentum into the parent group has become a more urgent task facing all management and employees.
