Career

Jordan began his career in 1987 working for Boston Consulting Group in San Francisco followed by a stint at an investment bank in Los Angeles. From 2004 to 2006, Jordan served as the president of PayPal. Prior to that, Jordan was senior vice president and general manager at eBay North America for five years, where he ran eBay.com and led eBay’s acquisitions of PayPal and Half.com. Before eBay, Jordan held various executive roles at Hollywood Entertainment (CFO) and The Walt Disney Company.

Jordan was president and CEO of OpenTable from 2007 to 2011. In May 2009, OpenTable’s initial public offering raised $31.4 million, giving the company a market capitalization of $432 million. OpenTable shares rose 72 percent during its first day of trading on NASDAQ and its IPO was considered an “extremely healthy” one during the economic recession.

He's also been an active investor and adviser in Silicon Valley for several years, with involvements in Pure Digital (the maker of the Flip Video camera later acquired by Cisco), Hotwire.com (acquired by Expedia), Tiny Prints (acquired by Shutterfly) and CafePress (which went public in 2012).
