eBay Inc. to Join U.S. Secretary of Commerce on Fact Finding Mission to Poland & Turkey

September 12, 2014

Tod Cohen, Vice President of eBay Inc. Global Relations, will be joining U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and other business leaders on a U.S. business delegation visit to Poland and Turkey later this month. The U.S. business delegation is part of President’s Export Council economic fact-finding mission to these countries. Last year, eBay Inc.’s CEO, John Donahoe, was appointed by President Obama to the President’s Export Council. Secretary Pritzker and the business leaders, all of whom are members of the President’s Export Council, will use the trip to identify opportunities to increase trade and investment between the U.S. and Poland and the U.S. and Turkey, two high-potential, fast-growing markets.

“This trip represents commercial diplomacy in action. In an effort to identify opportunities for U.S. firms to strengthen partnerships, and to bolster our economic ties with both countries, some of America’s top business leaders will join me on my visit to Poland and Turkey,” said Secretary Pritzker. “Our objective is also to learn more about the economic opportunities in these fast-growing economies. At the Department of Commerce, we are committed to helping our companies gain better access to strong global markets so they can sell more American goods and services worldwide. I greatly appreciate the efforts and expertise of the President’s Export Council, and look forward to their insights.”
