In this episode we chat with Justin Mallen, the Founder and CEO of Silk Road Technologies, a Hangzhou-based corporate telecommunication services provider.  The company builds data center for Alibaba, which processed $5 billion in sales online in the first 90 minutes of China’s Black Friday on November 11.

Justin came to China 23 years ago and has been building businesses since then.  As the sixth internet user in China, Justin discusses how China has developed from zero internet connectivity to an ecosystem taken over by smart phones and apps.
