来自沃尔玛的新任 eBay CEO

Struggling online retail giant eBay named a new top executive on Monday, bringing in the former head of e-commerce at Walmart, Jamie Iannone.

陷入困境的在线零售巨头eBay周一任命了一位新的高管，沃尔玛前电子商务主管杰米·伊安内(Jamie Iannone)被任命为首席执行官。

Iannone will take over April 27 from interim CEO Scott Schenkel, who took over after Devin Wenig stepped down last year.

伊安内将于4月27日接替临时CEO Scott Schenkel，后者是在Devin Wenig去年离职后接任的。

Most recently Iannone was chief operating officer of Walmart eCommerce and has some 20 years of experience in retail and digital operations, according to an eBay statement.

eBay在一份声明中表示，伊安内最近曾担任沃尔玛电子商务(Walmart eCommerce)首席运营官，在零售和数字业务方面拥有大约20年的经验。

Iannone worked previously at eBay for eight years and also was an executive at bookseller Barnes & Noble.

Iannone曾在eBay工作过8年，还曾在Barnes & Noble担任高管。

The board believes Jamie is the ideal CEO to lead eBay's next chapter of growth and success, said eBay chairman Thomas Tierney.

eBay董事长托马斯•蒂尔尼(Thomas Tierney)表示:“董事会认为，杰米是带领eBay开启下一个增长和成功篇章的理想CEO。”

Jamie has consistently delivered high growth during rapid periods of industry disruption, consumer change and technological advancement.

“在行业动荡、消费者变化和技术进步的快速时期，杰米一直保持着高速增长。”

California-based eBay is one of the success stories of the early internet era—notably for its online auctions—but in recent years it failed to keep pace with rival Amazon as the two compete as e-commerce platforms.

总部位于加州的eBay是早期互联网时代的成功案例之一，尤其是其在线拍卖业务，但近年来，随着两家公司在电子商务平台方面展开竞争，eBay 未能跟上竞争对手亚马逊(Amazon)的步伐。

It has been studying asset sales and its most recent quarter saw a 29 percent drop in net profit.

该公司一直在研究资产出售，最近一个季度的净利润下降了29%。

Last year, eBay agreed to sell its ticket marketplace StubHub to Swiss-based rival Viagogo for $4.05 billion in cash.

去年，eBay 同意以40.5亿美元现金将其票务市场 StubHub 出售给总部位于瑞士的竞争对手 Viagogo。
