PR scoop for eBay.com in management move

Nichola Sharpe, eBay UK Senior PR Manager, is to move to San Jose next month to give eBay.com PR a boost. Nichola previously at Freud Communications has been with eBay for two and a half years.

Nichola has worked tirelessly at her time with eBay in the UK and will be greatly missed. One of her latest projects has been overseeing eBay's involvement with the Get Safe Online campaign to educate Internet users how surf the net securely.

Following Meg Whitman's declaration that eBay "increasingly looks to its foreign offices for rising stars" and that they intend to "bring international talent to San Jose" it's no surprise that a key member of the UK team has been poached by the US. The UK's loss will be a huge gain to the team in San Jose!

Vanessa Canzini formerly Senior Media Relations Manager at BAA is expected to join eBay as Nichola's replacement.
