By Gloria Methri

PayPal Holdings’ Board of Directors has announced its plans to appoint Carmine Di Sibio, outgoing Global Chairman and CEO of EY, to the Board as an independent director, effective July 1, 2024.

“We are very pleased about the planned addition of Carmine to our Board given his demonstrated record of championing innovation, extensive experience advising regulated financial companies, and keen understanding of what it takes for global companies to succeed,” said Alex Chriss, President and CEO, PayPal. “If appointed, Carmine will be helpful in sharing his expertise in driving transformation and profitable growth in markets around the world to help us revolutionize commerce globally.”

Di Sibio has spearheaded EY’s innovation efforts, including helping to create the Global Innovation team to both transform existing services and create new solutions.

Since joining EY in 1985, Di Sibio has served as an Advisory and Assurance partner for many of the firm’s largest financial services accounts. He held several leadership positions, including Chair of the Global Financial Services Markets Executive and Regional Managing Partner for the Americas Financial Services Organization (FSO), where he started EY Risk Management and Regulatory Services.

Di Sibio previously announced he will retire from the company in June 2024. In accordance with EY policy and practice, he is only able to join a public company board upon his retirement.

In addition, Belinda Johnson, who has served as a director since 2017, informed the company that she will retire from the Board and will not stand for re-election at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in May.

“We want to thank Belinda for her contribution and service to PayPal and the Board over the past seven years,” said John Donahoe, Chair of the PayPal Board of Directors. “She has made a real positive impact. Her experience and thoughtful counsel have made PayPal a better company.”
