Ford Motor CEO Bill Ford has joined eBay's board of directors, eBay said on Wednesday.

Ford has led Ford since 30 October, 2001, and prior to that was chair of the company's board. Ford fills a spot created when eBay increased its board to 11 directors from 10.

eBay CEO Meg Whitman said in a statement: "We are extremely pleased that Bill is joining eBay's board.

"He leads one of the best-known and most respected global brands, and his management expertise will be a welcome addition to an unparalleled board of directors."
