He went to New Jersey for boarding school, then Stanford for college. An engineer by training, he worked on social networking before it exploded (at Yahoo! Groups), then moved to China seven years ago to work on the cloud (at EMC) and then digital entertainment (at BesTV, a Chinese company) before being poached by Walmart China to be its VP of technology as it launched an e-commerce operation there. Lee decided in September 2012 that he wanted to start his own business rather than work for another big company.”
