PayPal Names Chriss CEO, Poaching Executive From Intuit

By Colin Kellaher

 

PayPal Holdings has tapped Intuit executive Alex Chriss as its next president and chief executive, ending a monthslong search for a new leader.

The San Jose, Calif., payments giant on Monday said Chriss will take the reins from Dan Schulman on Sept. 27 and also will join the board.

Chriss currently serves as executive vice president and general manager of Intuit's small business and self-employed group, which generates more than half of the TurboTax parent's revenue.

Intuit on Monday said its chief technology officer, Marianna Tessel, would succeed Chriss as general manager of the small business and self-employed group, effective Sept. 5, with Alex Balazs, currently chief technology architect, moving up to chief technology officer.

PayPal said Schulman, who in February announced plans to retire after nine years at the helm, will remain a member of the board until next May.
