Welcome New eBay Developers Program Marketing Manager, JoAnn Peach!

We are pleased to introduce you to the newest member of our eBay Developers Program Team: JoAnn Peach!

JoAnn is our new eBay Developers Program Marketing Manager. Prior to joining eBay, JoAnn worked in marketing and communications for several startups in the Silicon Valley and in France including Six Apart, Wikimedia, Modu, Palm, Zannel and Macromedia (now Adobe). She also guest lectures on social media at George Washington University for the marketing program. JoAnn is also an active member of Girls In Tech and She's Geeky, focusing on mentoring outreach to middle and high school girls in science and technology magnet schools in the Silicon Valley. 

A San Jose native, JoAnn pursued a degree in Journalism at San Jose State University before moving to San Francisco. In 2005, she moved to Paris, France where she consulted with a technology PR agency, introducing French startups to the American media. She also studied French language and civilization at La Sorbonne Universite. During her two and a half years in Paris, JoAnn fed her travel bug by traveling to a different European country each month.

JoAnn is married (Nico) and she and her husband have a large Pitbull mastiff puppy (Milo). In her spare time, she spends as much time as she can outdoors hiking, snowboarding or camping. Indoors, she spends her time cooking and learning the recipes inherited from her husband's Italian grandmother.
