eBay continues their upper management shake-up that began in January with the exit of longtime CEO Meg Whitman by hiring new CEOs for both internet telephony service Skype and Shopping.com. Current Shopping.com president and Evite co-founder Josh Silverman will take the reigns at Skype. Andre Haddad is replacing Silverman at Shopping.com. Haddad has been with eBay since his startup iBazar was purchased in 2001.
Silverman is replacing the temporary Skype CEO Michale van Swaaij who has presided over Skype since co-founder Niklas Zennstrom left amid eBay’s unfortunate 1.4 billion write down of Skype.
The online auction giant has been suffering some ugly moments recently with sellers organizing a boycott over new rate structures. It remains to be seen if Silverman has any new ideas that will help eBay find a way to make Skype a more coherent part of eBay’s business structure.
