Earlier in his career, Mr. Cobb held senior leadership roles at eBay Inc., including President of eBay Marketplaces North America and Senior Vice President and General Manager of eBay International. He also held executive marketing roles at PepsiCo, Inc. and TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc. (n/k/a Yum! Brands, Inc.). Mr. Cobb has served on several public company boards, including Deluxe Corporation, ServiceMaster, Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc., Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., and Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
