Meg Whitman is trying to breathe new life into eBay. - October 16, 2006

This is an interesting article from Fortune about the current executive staff at eBay. Things certainly have changed a lot over the last year or so, with most of the eBay elite leaving the ranks. It looks like Fortune was given access to the executive staff for this piece. One has to assume that Meg and co. are setting the stage for her departure. The majority of the piece is about the "inflection point" that the company finds itself at. I think they'll wait until after the busy holiday season before Meg announces she's moving on, but consider this the beginnings of a soft-landing campaign with the media.
