I am excited to announce that effective September 26, Rodney C. Adkins (Rod) has joined PayPal’s Board of Directors. Rod is President of 3RAM Group LLC, a privately held company specializing in capital investments, business consulting services and property management. Rod brings an impressive track record to PayPal, having spent more than 30 years at International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), where he most recently served as Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy, leading continuous transformation projects, developing new strategic growth opportunities, and expansion in Africa.  During his extensive tenure with IBM, Mr. Adkins led global teams, managed multi-billion dollar business segments and delivered a vast portfolio of business products including contributing innovative advancements to the Personal Computer industry, launching nascent mobile technology and delivering market leadership for UNIX, Mainframes and Supercomputer systems.  As a respected tech and business leader, Rod serves on the board of directors for United Parcel Service (UPS), Grainger, PPL Corporation, Avnet, Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution and the Harlem School of the Arts.
