CEO: `eBay is indeed the best job for me'
Here is the complete text of eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman's e-mail to company employees explaining her decision to stay at the online auction company's helm: Hello everyone: You may have read news reports on the overture The Walt Disney Company made to me to be their CEO. I thought I'd take a moment to explain those reports. A few weeks ago, the firm handling Disney's search contacted me to see if I would be interested in the Disney job. As some of you know, I worked at Disney earlier in my career, and I have a fond spot in my heart for the company. It's quite possibly the only other company I would ever think of running after eBay. So, I asked the recruiter for more information and agreed to meet with Disney's board a week ago. On Friday afternoon, I withdrew my name from consideration, because, in the end, I reaffirmed my belief that working at eBay is indeed the best job for me. eBay is a marvelous company that has been extremely good to me. My past 7 years at eBay have been a fabulous adventure, both personally and professionally. I owe eBay, its community and all of you an awful lot. But perhaps even more important, I believe eBay has a remarkable future ahead of it. Everywhere I turn to look, whether it's our North American business, International, PayPal or New Ventures, I see tremendous opportunity. Great things remain to be done, and I very much want to be a part of that future. Thank you very much for your understanding. And thank you for everything you do for eBay and our users every single day. As always, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Please feel free to e-mail me. Regards, Meg
