Jamie Iannone, previously the head of Walmart’s e-commerce channel, will take the reins April 27.
San Jose, Calif.—Auction and sales website eBay Inc. has named former Walmart executive Jamie Iannone as its new CEO, the company announced Monday.
Former CEO Devin Wenig stepped down in Sept. 2019, with CFO Scott Schenkel filling in as interim CEO since then.
Iannone, previously the chief operating officer of Walmart’s e-commerce channel, will step into the role April 27. He will also join eBay’s board of directors.
He isn’t new to eBay, serving as a vice president and in other leadership roles at the company from 2001 to 2009.
Iannone has two decades of experience in digital pure-play and omnichannel platforms under his belt and has worked for several consumer-facing giants.
