I’m feeling “nervcited” (to use my kids’ term) as I am leaving eBay becoming the CEO of Providoor a marketplace for enjoying Australia’s best restaurants at home. I feel sad too, I just wept in our team meeting, but I feel grateful to have led eBay Australia, and worked for 10 years on behalf of 40,000 Aussie retailers, with a pretty special team (past and present) in a pretty special culture. I feel stoked to see David Ramadge step up to take eBay through its next phase of growth I love marketplaces. I love the way good food elevates conversation and brings people together. Shane Delia created Providoor during lockdown to give people access to great food and to help restaurants expand their venue into people’s homes. In recent weeks as lockdown has ended, thousands of people are reuniting with friends and family and using Providoor to entertain in their home. I've been advising Providoor this year and feel grateful Shane has entrusted me to work with him and his amazing team to build Providoor as a global brand & habit. I feel as daunted as I did over four years when I was asked to lead eBay and make sure it remained the market leader. But I know it’s going to be exciting too.
Best wishes Tim - am sure it will be a great ride
Congrats Tim MacKinnon on an amazing innings at eBay and supporting the business community. Best of luck with the next phase!

Look forward to dinner Tim MacKinnon !!, congratulations on partnering with Shane Delia to turbo charge Providoor. Congratulations to David Ramadge on your appointment. Exciting times
So privileged to have been a small part of your big journey Tim MacKinnon. Would it be weird to say I’m happy you cried but you know what I mean right? 😉You’re an amazing leader and a wonderful human being. P.S. I cried too and then rang Katie-Skye McLeod to share!
