Capinfo: Building success in IT infrastructure

Wang Xu was the last employee hired by Capinfo Co Ltd when it was founded in 1998 with 43 staff members - but it's fair to say he has done well.

He is now president of the Hong Kong-listed company that provides urban database and administration services.

For the past decade, the 40-year-old PhD in economics and management from prestigious Tsinghua University has not only experienced his own personal promotion, but also watched the growth of Capinfo, which is owned by the Beijing municipal government.
