Biography

Cheng Wei is CEO of ride-hailing firm Didi Global, which listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2021.

Days after Didi went public, the Chinese government announced a cybersecurity review and banned Didi's app from the app store.

Before founding Didi Dache, Cheng worked at Alibaba and was vice president for Alibaba's online payment service Alipay.

Didi was formed in 2015 when Cheng's company Didi Dache merged with Alibaba-backed competitor Kuaidi Dache. Didi acquired Uber China in 2016.
