Liu Qing (, born in 1978 in Beijing), also known as Jean Liu, serves as the President of Didi Chuxing ("DiDi"), the leading mobile transportation platform in China. Prior to joining Didi Dache as chief operating officer in July 2014, she spent twelve years at Goldman Sachs Asia, where she attained the position of managing director in 2012.

She played a pivotal role in orchestrating the strategic consolidation of Didi Dache with its primary rival Kuaidi Dache, creating Didi Kuaidi (which was later renamed Didi Chuxing) in 2015. Through her guidance, the company achieved a commanding presence within China's ride-hailing sector, notably compelling Uber to exit by acquiring its Chinese operations.

In 2017, Liu was recognized among the world's most influential individuals on the annual Time 100 list.

Early life and education

Liu was born in Beijing in 1978 and is the daughter of Lenovo's founder Liu Chuanzhi and granddaughter of Liu Gushu, a prominent banker at the Bank of China. She holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Peking University as well as a master's degree from Harvard University. Additionally, she has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science by New York University.

Personal life

Residing in Beijing with her family, Liu revealed in October 2015, at age 37, that she was receiving treatment for breast cancer. After undergoing two months of therapy, she intended to resume her professional duties by December 2015. According to DiDi, she has since made a full recovery and continues to lead the company. She is married and has three children.

Acknowledged as one of the "50 Most Powerful Moms of 2016" by Working Mother, Liu has openly discussed managing the challenges of her executive responsibilities alongside family commitments.
