Devin Wenig

Devin Wenig is a member of General Motors' board of director since 2018 and serves as a trustee for Paley Center for Media since 2015. He is an alumnus of Union College and Columbia Law School.

In 1991, while he was 23 years old, Wenig served as the CEO of Nastech Pharmaceuticals - now known as MDRNA Inc. - a company that was founded by his father, Jeffrey Wenig. He maintained the position for a year before continuing his corporate career in Thomson Reuters, where he spent 17 years, before being joining eBay as its global marketplace president in September 2011. He was promoted to become eBay's CEO in July 2015, succeeding John Donahoe, who left his position after PayPal's spin-off from eBay. As CEO, Wenig led efforts to modernize eBay's image, which included a site redesign and artificial intelligence-driven user insights. His departure for eBay was motivated by a disagreement with two of eBay's shareholders: Elliot Management and Starboard Financial. The two hedge fund firms wanted StubHub and Classifieds, two of eBay's subsidiaries to be spun out into two separate entities from eBay.
