All,
Yesterday eBay announced the formation of a new business development group within eBay Marketplaces. The team will be led by vice president of North American business development, Michael Jones. Jones joined eBay after 10 years at ChannelAdvisor where he was most recently chief revenue officer and chief operating officer, responsible for revenue, corporate development and acquisition strategies.

Joining Jones will be Michael Mosser and Sam Shaffer, who will focus on eBay Fashion, directly engaging industry designers, brands and retailers to participate in Fashion Vault, eBay’s destination for limited-time flash sales, and launching branded outlet storefronts. Mosser previously served as vice president, business development, for Home Shopping Network (HSN). Shaffer joins eBay from the New York office of IMG Worldwide, Inc., where he was director, business development, for the designers and brands category.

Completing the team are Fredrick Crosby, Theresa Casey, Steve Dueck and Greg Snodgrass, who will focus on eBay’s Electronics, Home & Garden and Sporting Goods categories.

I thought it would be worthwhile to sit down with Michael Jones and members of his team to talk about their vision, goals and objectives over the coming months. However, rather than conduct my standard “5 Minutes With…” interview format I thought it would be a great opportunity to solicit questions from you, the Ink readers.

So… please take the time to ask a question you’d love me to pose to the team and I’ll do my best to get it answered in a upcoming blog post.

Cheers!
