David Sacks PayPal Resume

by Sam on September 3, 2009

if you want to see an example of as perfect of a resume line-item as you can get, look no further than David Sack’s description of his position and accomplishments while at PayPal:

COO
PayPal

(Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; ebay; Internet industry)

1999 — 2002 (3 years)

As Chief Operating Officer, I was PayPal’s product leader, managed 700 employees, and built many of our key teams.

I was responsible for product management and design, sales and marketing, business development, international, customer service, fraud operations, and human resources functions at PayPal.

During my tenure, we grew payment volume from $0 to $500 million/month and revenue from $0 to $240 million/year. We beat eBay on its own platform, winning the auction payments space. We became the world’s #1 financial website, from nothing. We introduced business accounts and made our users pay. We expanded into multiple currencies and over 80 countries. Finally, we successfully IPO’d and became a public company, before ultimately selling to eBay for $1.5 billion.

  • David Sacks doesn't need a resume. :)
  • true...i just love how badass and short it is. Not much more to say.
  • I like the "$0 to $500 million/month" and "0 to $240 million/year" bits. :)
  • I like the way he shares the credit with the team. It always bothers me when one people talk like they did somehow did it alone.
  • He doesn't have to prove anything at all, everyone knows about the company and figures say it all.
  • this is funny: i think your name is enough.
