Early life and education

John Donahoe was born in Evanston, Illinois on April 30, 1960.[9] His father was an accountant at Price Waterhouse in Chicago.[10] In 1978, he graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois.[10] He earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Dartmouth, followed by an MBA from Stanford Business School.[1] Donahoe is of Irish descent.[11]

Career

After his senior year of high school, a friend's father 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.[12]

Before joining eBay he worked for Bain & Company (a worldwide consulting firm based in Boston) for 20 years, starting as an associate consultant and rising to become the firm's president and CEO in 1999.[4]

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.[3] He made more than forty acquisitions, including Shopping.com and StubHub,[13] and the classifieds sites Gumtree and LoQUo, and most recently, Shutl.[14][15] After his departure from eBay in 2015, Donahoe was replaced by eBay Marketplaces President, Devin Wenig.[16]

He is a member of the President's Export Council,[5] and he serves on the Boards of Directors of both eBay Inc. and Intel Corp.[6]

In February 2017, he was announced as the president and CEO of ServiceNow, an IT organization software company. He became familiar with ServiceNow while working at eBay.[7]

He served on the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College from 2003 to 2012.[17]

Politics

Donahoe has contributed to both parties, both to Republican candidate Congressman David Dreier of California as well as two Democrat candidates: Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, and Barbara Boxer[18] of California.

Personal life

He is married to Eileen Donahoe (née Chamberlain), former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.[19] They have four children, three sons and a daughter, and live in Portola Valley, California.[20][21]
