eBay Foundation recently appointed Priya Suri, VP People Business Partners at eBay, to its Board of Directors. Priya brings deep HR leadership and people-strategy expertise that we expect will strengthen the Foundation’s governance and help deepen employee engagement across the company. She joins fellow board members Julie Loeger, Rebecca Spencer, Scott Andrews, Alex Kazim, Julie Cheng, John Feldmeier, Patrice Green, and Jonathan Jayes-Green.
Priya’s career spans multiple industries in a wide range of HR leadership roles, where she has consistently shown that people and culture were at the heart of businesses driving growth and impact. Now, in her second tenure at eBay, she partners closely with leadership to design and deliver strategic talent and organizational solutions that enable eBay’s business transformation and growth.
Priya joins eBay Foundation’s board at a moment of strong momentum across employee programs. 2025 was a landmark year, with both eBay and employee participation in giving and volunteering significantly outpacing industry trends. While the industry average is about 21%, 73% of eBay's workforce participated in giving or volunteering—more than three times that and a 30-point increase year-over-year from 2024.
More specifically, employee engagement grew to 8,521 unique participants — an 85% increase year over year. Of those employees, more than 2,300 went beyond donating, contributing more than 60,000 volunteer hours in communities around the world. That's the equivalent of 2,500 calendar days of service.
“I am humbled to join the eBay Foundation as a board member, and I look forward to contributing to the Foundation’s mission. This is a unique opportunity to see our DNA in action by empowering communities through diverse causes and to have a meaningful impact in people’s lives. This is what makes eBay such a special company,” Priya said.
