Online Class Notes (Jesse)

In the past week, I had a business trip to Beijing to attend a conference with Meituan.com, but I felt that it did not provide me with any useful information.
However, I meet up with some old friends in Beijing, and we had a glad chatting and they gave me a lot of useful advice.
Additionally, during the past week, I race to the performance targets which was set by the company standards, and I have more engagement for my new team, which made me quite happy.
Next Wednesday, I will have an English quiz in advance because a subordinate of my dotted line boss/mentor, my boss who is a French woman previously I had said, he will give me an orientation to introduce what kind of support and help, which is the global e-tail department can provide for China’s e-commerce business. His name is Yann, and I don’t know which country he is from, so l call it a small test.
I think I need to prepare at least three aspects of content:
One is self-introduction. I believe they will be interested in my experience at Alibaba and my situation when I first joined Logitech nine years ago.
One is the current business introduction, including the challenges and opportunities encountered, which includes not only our industry competitors such as Razer, SteelSeries, and Corsair, but also different internet platforms such as JD.com, Alibaba, Douyin, Pinduoduo, etc.
The last one is the experience of their running an Amazon business globally, as well as their methodology for tracking process data, and so on.
