Eric Li, also known as Li Shufu,is the founder of Hong Kong-listed automaker Geely Automobile Holdings. He stepped down as chairman in August 2026, citing the firm's long-term succession planning.
The mogul handed over the reins to An Cong Hui, a long-time lieutenant who once oversaw Geely's electric vehicle brands including Zeekr.
Geely's sprawling portfolio includes Sweden's Volvo Cars and Britain's Lotus Cars, along with a stake in Aston Martin in the U.K.
In July 2025, Geely agreed to take Zeekr private at a $6.8 billion valuation, roughly a year after listing it on the New York Stock Exchange.
In recognition of Li's leadership, Geely Automobile Holdings appointed him honorary chairman for life.
Li holds an engineering degree from Yanshan University and is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Li told Forbes Asia in 2014 he made his first car from the sand as a boy. "We couldn't afford any toys. I couldn't imagine making a real car."
Li is the son of a farmer from China's eastern Zhejiang province.
