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.

She serves on the boards of the James Campbell Company LLC and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
