John Donahoe          

CEO of Nike; Former CEO of eBay Inc.

As President and CEO of NIKE, Inc, John Donahoe leads the continued growth of the Nike Brand as well as NIKE, Inc.'s global business portfolio, which includes Jordan Brand and Converse Inc.

Donahoe previously served as President and CEO of eBay Inc. Under his leadership, the company became a global commerce platform and payments leader, with revenue in 2012 of $14.1 billion. Across its eBay, PayPal and GSI Commerce platforms, the company enabled $175 billion of commerce in 2012, which represents about 18 percent of e-commerce worldwide and about 2 percent of global retail. The company also is a mobile commerce leader, with eBay mobile commerce volume of $13 billion in 2012, and PayPal mobile payments volume of $14 billion. The company is focused on enabling commerce as a partner -- not a competitor -- to sellers of all sizes, from entrepreneurs and small businesses, to global brands and retailers.

Donahoe joined eBay in March 2005 as President of eBay Marketplaces, responsible for all elements of eBay's global ecommerce businesses. In this role, he focused on expanding eBay's core business, which accounts for a large percentage of the companys revenues. He also oversaw a number of strategic acquisitions, including Shopping.com, StubHub and classifieds sites, such as Gumtree. During his three-year tenure as President of Marketplaces, revenues and profits for the division doubled.

Prior to eBay, Donahoe spent more than 20 years at Bain & Company, a worldwide consulting firm based in Boston. Starting as an Associate Consultant, Donahoe rose to become the firm's president and CEO in 1999, overseeing Bain's 30 offices and 3,000 employees.

Donahoe received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Additionally, Donahoe serves on the Board of Directors for eBay Inc. and Intel Corp.
