Career History
Huber served for nearly a decade as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of eBay Inc. In this role, she oversaw global legal, compliance, regulatory affairs, corporate governance, and government relations, leading a team of 250 professionals across 12 countries. Huber played a central role in eBay’s transformation from a business spanning payments, ticketing, classifieds, and global marketplaces to a focused, enthusiast-driven marketplace.
During her tenure, she helped lead the move to managed payments for a $70B+ GMV business via Adyen, recapturing economics and control from PayPal. In addition to the spin-off of PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), major transactions included the $4B sale of StubHub and the $9B divestiture of eBay’s Classifieds Group to Adevinta. Huber also helped drive the $13B acquisition of Adevinta led by Permira and Blackstone, the divestiture of an 80% stake in eBay Korea, and strategic acquisitions including Motors.co.uk, Sneaker Con, TCGplayer, and Goldin Auctions. In parallel, she guided the organization through major regulatory shifts affecting global digital platforms, including new digital services regulations and payments intermediation, data privacy requirements, tax policy, and cross-border commerce.
Huber also played a key governance role during periods of leadership and board transition, advising through multiple CEO successions, navigating shareholder activism campaigns seeking board change, and supporting the creation of eBay’s Board Risk Committee. She also led the development of enterprise frameworks addressing cybersecurity and AI governance oversight, privacy protection, breach response, and broader risk management.
Previously, Huber served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Agilent Technologies, advising the board and executive leadership on strategy, governance, and capital deployment while overseeing global legal, compliance, government affairs, communications, and philanthropy. During this period, she helped lead several transactions that reshaped Agilent’s portfolio and growth strategy, including the $2.6B sale of its semiconductor business to a group that became Avago and then Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), the $2B acquisition of Dako, which strengthened the company’s position in diagnostics and life sciences, and the $5B spin-off of Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS).
Earlier, Huber served as Corporate Counsel at Hewlett-Packard Company, focusing on M&A, securities law, and corporate governance. She began her legal career at large law firms in New York and San Francisco.
