With more than fourteen years of experience in international trade and logistics, Batista oversees Cainiao’s cross-border small parcel operations in Brazil and the Miami (MIA) hub for Latin American freight. He also manages the Cainiao Express warehouse at Viracopos (VCP) in Campinas, Brazil, for AliExpress. 

Cainiao continues to grow its presence globally with new facilities and offerings, especially for the e-commerce sector.  

Cainiao filed for its Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) in September 2023 but withdrew its IPO and listing application on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in March 2024. Instead, Alibaba announced it would buy Cainiao’s remaining shares for up to $3.8 billion.
