Online marketplace eBay has announced the appointment of Steve Priest as chief financial officer.
Priest is currently CFO at US airline JetBlue and held various senior level positions during nearly 20 years with British Airways.
Interim CFO Andy Cring will continue in his role until Priest joins eBay at the end of June, and will then assist with the transition.
Jamie Iannone, CEO of eBay, said: “The airline industry is known to be incredibly competitive, forever operating on tight margins, high customer expectations and the endless need to evolve. I’m excited for Steve to bring his unique and valuable perspective to eBay.
“I want to thank Andy for his dedication as eBay’s interim CFO, and I’m especially grateful for everything he did to support me during my first year as CEO.”
