Expanding Opportunities for Magento Merchants, Partners and Developers

Today marks a new chapter in the evolution of Magento.
What
started out as a simple vision to enable retailers to
drive
online sales has evolved into the world’s leading
ecommerce
platform. We are proud of what we have accomplished as
an
ecosystem and we are excited about our future as we
continue to
transform the retail landscape.

Today, we’re announcing that Magento has become part of
eBay Enterprise. By combining the
extensive
capabilities of our leading organizations, we are bringing
the
ecommerce technology, multichannel operations and
marketing
services capabilities of eBay Inc. together under one
umbrella.
Moving forward, retail and brand partners of all sizes
will
find an unmatched portfolio of offerings that
seamlessly
deliver integrated commerce solutions to drive their
revenue
and growth. For Magento, it’s business as usual.

The organization will report into Mark Lavelle, who was
most
recently Senior Vice President for Strategy and
Business
Development at eBay Inc. Mark has particular talent in
imagining the future of online commerce, developing
thoughtful
strategy and finding untapped business value in new
areas,
something we know all of us will benefit greatly from.
Mark
will report directly into Chris Saridakis, President of
eBay
Enterprise.

We’re excited about the future of our combined
organizations.
In the coming months, you will be hearing more about how
we
plan to deliver more ways for our clients to compete and
win in
the ever-changing retail landscape.
