Video Webcast: eBay CEO Talks at Stanford Business School
Meg Whitman’s lecture took place late last month and is now available as an archived webcast. From the text summary:

The company’s dramatic growth was one theme of Whitman’s May 23 talk at the Graduate School of Business, part of the student-sponsored View from the Top speaker series. She also discussed lessons she has learned during her career, which has included executive positions at Hasbro and the Walt Disney Co. And she described two major acquisitions for eBay, PayPal and Skype. Skype, like eBay and PayPal, has seen enormous user growth: It has at least one user in every country in the world except North Korea. Like eBay and PayPal, Skype grows through user referrals. “It has a pattern that we recognize really well,” Whitman said. “I think we understood what Skype offered far faster than almost anyone else.”
