Biography

Gao Dekang is the chairman and CEO of Bosideng International Holdings, one of the world's largest makers of down jackets.

Born in 1952 in a family of tailors, Gao learnt how to sew when he was a child.

He opened a small tailor shop in 1976, and decided to focus on making down jackets about a decade later.

Today the Hong Kong-listed company operates a network of more than 3,000 stores across China. It also sells its products in dozens of countries including France, Italy and the U.S.

Gao's wife, Mei Dong, and son Gao Xiaodong both sit on Bosideng's board of directors.
