eBay added a new member to its Board of Directors. Zane Rowe will join the board effective February 16, 2024, bringing the board to ten directors. In Thursday’s press release, eBay described Rowe’s background as follows:
“Zane Rowe currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Workday, Inc., an international enterprise software company, where he is responsible for accounting, business finance, investor relations, tax and treasury, in addition to advising on business strategy and product development as well as serving as an executive sponsor for the company’s ESG efforts.
“Prior to Workday, Zane was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of VMware, Inc., a global technology company, where he oversaw the company’s finance and accounting functions and corporate development, as well as the Business Operations function, which included the CIO and CSO organizations. Earlier in his career, Zane held roles at EMC Corporation, Apple, United Continental Holdings and Continental Airlines. Zane holds a B.S. from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and an MBA from San Diego State University.”
Chairman Paul Pressler stated: “We are excited to welcome Zane to our Board of Directors. Zane will bring extensive experience in business strategy, corporate finance and technology development having worked with some of today’s leading global technology organizations. His expertise will help eBay further its strategy and aid in its focus on delivering long-term shareholder value.”
In its filing with the SEC, eBay said Rowe will be entitled to receive the same compensation paid by the Company to each of its non-employee directors and said his term will expire at eBay’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
Workaday describes eBay perfectly! Nothing special.
looking at this announcement seems just like a stooge that cannot hold on to a job very long.
They could add Zane Gray and it wouldn’t matter.
He may be a nice guy, but he knows nothing about sales, online selling or eBay.
