Rolf Skyberg

Platform Product Manager, eBay, Inc.

As an employee of eBay, I investigate the creation of engaging buyer experiences and useful seller conduits. Having held such titles as “Disruptive Innovator”, “Researcher”, and “Quality Assurance Engineer”, I’ve seen all aspects of the ecommerce ecosystem from beginning to end. While at eBay I have focused on inspiring new ways of approaching problems and exploring them from a holistic viewpoint.

My investigations in those areas have yielded patent filings in areas such as social commerce, item categorization, and delivery verification systems. I have a BS in Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis with additional studies in System Science. I have worked in technology since before the first dot.com bust and hope to continue thinking up great ideas through the second boom.

I also serve on the advisory board of Innovation Exchange, a company that seeks to deliver open innovation for Global 5000 companies. By opening up innovation to everyone who wants to participate, Innovation Exchange enables companies to absorb ideas from globally rich and diverse community of innovators.

I currently live in Campbell, California with my wife, two cats, and dogs Henry and Ella. Someday when I’m rich and famous I’ll buy up a good chunk of green space and move back where it rains all the time and you can be truly thankful for sunshine.
