Stubhub Canada boss exits, Jeff Poirier steps up

Ticket resale platform StubHub has appointed Jeff Poirier as its new Country Manager for Canada.

Poirier (pictured) replaces exiting territory manager Anthony Lipschitz this week, who is leaving the eBay-owned business.

“Jeff is an extremely smart, hardworking and humble leader,” said Brigitte Ricou-Bellan, International General Manager for StubHub.

“His experience prior to joining StubHub has proven immensely valuable in his role on our Strategy and Corporate Development team, leading a number of highly strategic cross-functional deals and investments.

“As he moves into his new role in Canada, I’m confident he’ll bring the same keen focus coupled with a strong drive and determination to collaborate with partners that will continue to grow our business in this market.”

Poirier will focus on developing new products and product enhancements tailored to the Canadian fan.

“I’m incredibly excited to take on this new challenge. We have built an incredible team on the ground in Canada and I can’t wait to work with them in leading StubHub’s Canadian business to a great year,” said Poirier.

“The products we’re developing and enhancements we are making for our customers in the Canada market are going to offer an improved experience tailored specifically to their needs and I’m excited to be a part of such innovations to better serve our fans.”

Poirier joined StubHub in 2012 and has spent the past three years on the Strategy & Corporate Development team. He was the Head of Corporate Development on an interim basis throughout much of 2014.

Prior to joining StubHub, Poirier spent two years as an Investment Banker at Goldman Sachs in their San Francisco office, concentrating on technology clients.

StubHub recently announced a new partnership with the Toronto Rock, one of a number of partnerships within the Canadian market.Music Business Worldwide
