Jamie Iannone, CEO of eBay since 2020, is back in headlines as eBay snubs a GameStop bid while riding AI help for the holidays.
eBay has rejected GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s unsolicited $125-per-share offer — about $55.5bn — after its board has reviewed the proposal and found uncertainty in financing, added leverage and operational risks. GameStop has built roughly a 5% stake in eBay and has signalled it will consider taking the offer directly to shareholders.
