StubHub Holdings, Inc.

Prior to Tripadvisor, he was Chief Financial Officer of Noom, a consumer-focused digital health company. Previously, he was Senior Vice President of Finance at Booking Holdings, a publicly traded travel company where he led corporate finance activities spanning financial planning, capital budgeting and investor relations. Earlier in his career, Mr. Noonan held capital markets positions at RBC Capital Markets, NYSE Euronext, J.P. Morgan and Bear Stearns & Co. Mr. Noonan holds an MBA from Duke University and a BA from Davidson College.

Eric Baker, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of StubHub, commented, “Mike’s deep consumer background and experience in finance leadership and capital markets roles make him a fantastic fit to serve as StubHub’s next CFO. Mike joins a strong leadership team in place to execute our strategy in the years ahead. I look forward to working with Mike.”

Mr. Baker continued, “On behalf of the entire company and Board, I’d like to thank Connie for bringing financial discipline to the company and executing several capital markets transactions. As highlighted by our positive third quarter results and increased full-year GMS outlook announced separately today, we continue to advance our vision of being the global destination for consumers to access live events and experiences. I sincerely appreciate all Connie has contributed to StubHub while building and leading our finance team, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Mr. Noonan said, “StubHub has built a leading global ticketing marketplace, a trusted and highly recognized brand, and superior technology that ensures fans have a great experience accessing live events. I am excited to bring my extensive experience with marketplace models and track record of scaling consumer-facing businesses to the company, and I look forward to working with the entire team.”

Ms. James said, “Leading StubHub’s finance organization over the past several years has been a privilege, and I’d like to extend my gratitude to Eric, the Board, and the entire team. We have built a very talented finance team, and I believe now is the right time for a transition. I look forward to ensuring a seamless transition in the coming months.”
