Diversity & Inclusion

Dan shares that his introverted nature is actually a plus when it comes to understanding and leading people in an inclusive environment. He may not reflect quickly in the moment, but by listening carefully, he takes in and processes what another person is telling him. That's a useful skill when it comes to diversity and inclusion, he says, since it helps better understand what other people are thinking and where they're coming from.

During the 12-week intensive program, Jamien and Prisco had the opportunity to connect with other minority managers, work with an executive coach and develop critical skill sets. The program not only helped them to expand their network of peers and advisors, but also provided a unique space for them to discuss leadership challenges and opportunities common within the Black and Hispanic and Latino communities. Both Jamien and Prisco are leveraging their MLT experience in ways that help to create a more diverse and inclusive culture at eBay.

Sam says that diversity, inclusion and business can often intersect perfectly with philanthropy to drive optimal outcomes for the entire eBay community. Sam lived this truth through a unique partnership with Chicago-based, African-American artist, Hebru Brantley. Like Sam, Hebru’s family was tragically impacted by breast cancer. When Hebru and eBay collaborated to sell one of Hebru’s limited edition prints commemorating his mother and sister on International Women’s Day, the prints sold out within hours, and much of the proceeds benefit breast cancer research.
