Talking point: Iannone’s appointment follows the September 2019 outster of then-CEO Devin Wenig, who clashed repeatedly with activist investors Elliott Management and Starboard Value. They wanted eBay to do more to catch up with Amazon in e-commerce, and the firm is increasingly doing what the activists—who have appointed six board members between them—want. EBay has already sold StubHub for US$4.05 billion and is looking at offers for its classified ads business. Jesse Cohn, an Elliot partner and eBay board member, called Iannone’s appointment a “huge positive” for the firm.
