Jamie Iannone

Operator

Jamie Iannone is the President and CEO of eBay, where he has been a central figure in repositioning the marketplace as a significant player in retail media and commerce advertising. Since taking the helm in April 2020, Iannone has championed eBay's 'tech-led reimagination,' leveraging the platform's vast first-party buyer and seller data to build out advertising solutions that connect brands with high-intent shoppers. Under his leadership, eBay Ads has grown as a meaningful revenue stream, offering promoted listings and performance-based advertising products that compete in the broader retail media landscape alongside Amazon Advertising and Walmart Connect. Before becoming CEO, Iannone served as Chief Operating Officer at Walmart eCommerce, where he oversaw digital operations, technology, and marketplace growth — experience that directly informed his commerce and advertising strategy at eBay. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at eBay itself, including as CEO of eBay's StubHub division and in various product and technology leadership positions, giving him deep institutional knowledge of the platform's ecosystem. His background spans product management, marketplace operations, and digital commerce at scale. Iannone's leadership at eBay is notable in the AdTech context for his focus on monetizing intent-rich, first-party data in a privacy-conscious era. As third-party cookies deprecate and retail media networks proliferate, eBay's positioning under Iannone as a destination for performance advertising — particularly in categories like collectibles, auto parts, and consumer electronics — has drawn increasing attention from advertisers and industry observers alike.
