Former Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen (MBA 1988) has been named the new CFO at PayPal, the Wall Street Journal reported this week.

In addition to his decade as chief financial officer at Electronic Arts, Jorgensen has also served as CFO at Levi Strauss and Yahoo. He was named to Hasbro’s Board of Directors in April, with the toymaker’s CEO Chris Cocks noting that Jorgensen’s “expertise, leadership skills, and strategic growth mindset have been critical to the long-term success of digital gaming powerhouse Electronic Arts.”
