EBay names three new executives, including Home Depot veteran

San Jose, Calif. - EBay Inc. has appointed three new executives who will fill key positions on CEO-designee Devin Wenig’s leadership team. The company makes these appointments as it 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 New York Stock Exchange executive Scott Cutler, who will lead StubHub.



Lawton has held a number of leadership positions at Home Depot including senior VP and president of the online business, VP of merchandising finance and director of corporate strategy. Prior to that, Lawton was an associate principal at McKinsey & Co.



Huber served as senior VP, general counsel and secretary of Agilent since 2009, and as VP, assistant general counsel and assistant secretary from 2000 to 2009. Prior to Agilent, Huber was a merger and acquisitions and corporate lawyer at Hewlett-Packard from 1990 to 1999. She replaces Michael Jacobsen, senior VP, general counsel and secretary of eBay, who plans to leave the company following the separation of the business in the second half of 2015.



Cutler most recently was executive VP, head of global listings, for the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to NYSE, Cutler held a number of leadership positions at investment firms, where his specialty was technology.
