Mumu (Xie Xiaoli) began her career in e-commerce in Shenzhen in 2014, at the outset of China's mobile commerce revolution. Over the following decade, she built and scaled brands across every major Chinese platform — Taobao, JD, Toutiao, Douyin — adapting to each shift in consumer behavior and technology.
When Chinese e-commerce expanded globally, she followed: launching TikTok operations in Western markets and building cross-border Shopify independent sites. This gave her firsthand insight into the challenges brands face when entering unfamiliar markets.
"After a decade navigating China's fastest-moving consumer markets and then expanding into the West, I chose Jakarta. Not as a retreat, but as a conviction — Indonesia is the most important frontier for Chinese brands today."
Today she is based in Jakarta, advising Chinese enterprises on market entry strategy, brand positioning, and operational execution across Indonesia's complex consumer landscape. Her work spans market intelligence, local partnership development, supply chain setup, and brand launch.
Most China-Indonesia intermediaries are brokers. Mumu is a partner with a decade of cross-border operational experience and on-the-ground capability in Jakarta.
Most agents are middlemen who pass requirements between parties. Mumu is a brand operator who has built and scaled businesses across China, the West, and now Indonesia. We don’t introduce — we build.
