# Ning Zhang

> Ning Zhang is the founder and CEO of Gloco.ai, the AI-era evolution of Flatfee, a managed marketplace that lets small and mid-sized businesses handle the legal, accounting, HR, and logistics paperwork of going global for predictable flat fees. A former cross-border lawyer with 15-plus years at firms including Jones Day, White & Case, and CKR Law, she left big-law billing behind to build software that does the unglamorous back-office legwork of international expansion for the smallest companies. Trained in journalism at Fudan and law at Georgetown, she now turns the friction of operating across borders into something an e-commerce seller can buy off a menu.
