John Joseph Donahoe II (born April 30, 1960) is an American businessman who served as president and CEO of eBay from March 31, 2008 to July 2015. Early in his career he worked for Bain & Company, becoming the firm's president and CEO in 1999. He is currently a member of the President's Export Council, and serves on the Boards of Directors of both eBay Inc. and Intel Corp. He also serves as chairman of PayPal.
John Donahoe was born in Evanston, Illinois on April 30, 1960. His father was an accountant at Price Waterhouse in Chicago. He graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois. He received a B.A. in Economics from Dartmouth and an MBA from Stanford Business School.
After his senior year of high school, a friend’s dad asked him to work at his Schlitz beer distribution company. “You’ll make good money,” he said. It was a union job and the first requirement was that he join the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Before joining eBay he worked for Bain & Company (a worldwide consulting firm based in Boston) for 20 years, starting as an associate consultant and becoming the firm's president and CEO in 1999.
In March 2005 he was hired as president of eBay Marketplaces. His role was to focus on eBay's core business, which accounts for a large percentage of the company's revenues. He made more than forty acquisitions, including Shopping.com and StubHub, and the classifieds sites Gumtree and LoQUo, and most recently, Shutl. In his current role as of 2015, Donahoe oversees eBay's two modules, eBay Marketplaces, and PayPal.
