Rumor: Dell VP to Join Amazon China
Sina Tech, 11/19/12
Rong Yongkang, global VP of Dell, has resigned his position at Dell and will join Amazon China by the end of this month. Amazon China has already established dedicated departments for its Kindle and cloud computing services, and Rong is expected to oversee these new businesses.
A Dell spokesperson declined to comment on the rumor. Rong, who served as both global VP and general manager of large industry and SOE business at Dell China, oversaw cloud computing-related services, as well as a portion of Dell China's hardware business.
A number of industry sources confirmed that Amazon has completed preparations to launch its Kindle product line in China, most likely in H1 2013, alongside its cloud computing services.
