eBay’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) is leaving the company, the latest in an exodus of top executives. Dan Morales joined eBay in 2011 and will become CIO of Universal Music Group (UMG), effective April 15, 2019.

Note that a CIO is different from a Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In eBay’s case, CTO Steve Fisher is responsible for the end-to-end eBay product experience and technology platform, and he also leads the strategy and execution of eBay’s major new payments initiative.

The head of eBay Spain and Italy departed the company, according to AIM Group.

“The general manager of EBay Spain and Italy, Susana Voces, has left the company after two years in her current role. Previously, she was country manager for EBay Spain for nearly four years, after joining EBay from PayPal.”

I think the churn at the top was one of the problems Elliott cited in their challenge to eBay. It's normal for people in those types of positions to move on/be headhunted, but it seems excessive in eBay's case.

It must be very frustrating to work at Ebay especially in the top tiers. I bet resumes are out there floating around waiting to be grabbed up by another company.

Yup, Ebay Execs seem to be a headhunter's paradise right now.  Some of this is most likely due to exactly that, people being headhunted.  Headhunters definitely have fave poaching spot.

LOL zoesam - I used to be headhunted! "Poaching" is the perfect word for it. So far few are leaving to 'spend more time with their family'.

Yeah, we definitely knew the shops (they were called data processing shops back then) that weren't the best places to work.  The real trick was when we got those shops as clients & had to sell the hell outta them :-)
