EBay Announces Appointment Of Three New Executives

eBay Inc. (EBAY) today announced the appointment of three new executives who will fill key positions on CEO-designee Devin Wenig's leadership team as the company prepares for the separation of eBay and PayPal into independent publicly traded companies in the second half of 2015.

Joining eBay are former Home Depot executive Harry "Hal" Lawton, who will head eBay North America; former Agilent Technologies executive Marie Oh Huber, who will become eBay's General Counsel; and former NYSE executive Scott Cutler, who will lead StubHub.

Lawton, who will be head of eBay North America, joins from Home Depot, where he has served as Senior Vice President of Merchandising since 2013. Lawton has held a number of leadership positions at Home Depot including SVP & President of the online business, Vice President of Merchandising Finance and Director of Corporate Strategy.

Huber joins eBay from Agilent Technologies, where she served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary since 2009, and as Vice President, Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary from 2000 to 2009. Prior to Agilent, Huber was an M&A and corporate lawyer at Hewlett-Packard from 1990 to 1999, starting her career before HP at large law firms in New York and San Francisco. She serves on the boards of the James Campbell Company LLC and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Huber will lead eBay's global legal function, replacing Michael Jacobsen, SVP, General Counsel and Secretary of eBay Inc. who plans to leave the company following the separation of the business in the second half of 2015.

Cutler, who will be President of eBay's StubHub business, a global fan-to-fan ticket marketplace, most recently was Executive Vice President, Head of Global Listings, for the New York Stock Exchange.
