Jeff Skoll is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — First president of eBay; his Participant Media produced Spotlight and An Inconvenient Truth — Oscar-winning cinema for social change.
Born to a Jewish family in Montreal, Jeff Skoll was eBay's first employee-president and its first full-time hire with equity; the 1998 IPO made him a billionaire and he set about giving it away with intent. His Skoll Foundation built the field of social entrepreneurship; his Participant Media financed cinema meant to move the world — An Inconvenient Truth, Spotlight (Best Picture 2016), Contagion — proof that a portfolio can have a conscience.
