Pinterest已任命James Dibbo为首席财务官，自10月26日起生效。他此前在亚马逊担任全球娱乐、广告及企业发展部门财务负责人。他将接替Julia Brau Donnelly，后者于8月宣布离职。Dibbo接手的是一家欧洲业务增长强劲的公司：今年第一季度欧洲营收同比增长27%，而美国和加拿大地区仅增长13%。

Pinterest聘请了曾掌管亚马逊广告和娱乐业务财务的高管。James Dibbo将于10月26日出任首席财务官。Pinterest自称是一家搜索与发现公司，其营收主要来自广告。
Pinterest has hired the executive who ran the finances of Amazon’s advertising and entertainment businesses. James Dibbo becomes chief financial officer on 26 October. Pinterest calls itself a search-and-discovery company, and its revenue is advertising revenue.
据彭博社报道，Dibbo曾任亚马逊全球娱乐、广告及企业发展部门副总裁兼首席财务官，管辖亚马逊广告、Prime Video、米高梅影业、音乐、Audible和Twitch等业务。他将向首席执行官Bill Ready汇报工作，办公地位于洛杉矶。

Julia Brau Donnelly于8月宣布离职，前往一家早期私营公司任职，此后由Vikram Naidu暂时代理该职位。Donnelly将于10月26日正式交接，并担任顾问至月底。一家公司招聘何种人才，折射出其自我定位。
Julia Brau Donnelly announced her departure in August for an early-stage private company, and Vikram Naidu has held the post on an interim basis since. Donnelly hands over on 26 October and advises until the end of the month. What a company hires tells you what it thinks it is.
亚马逊广告业务单季营收达172亿美元，同比增长24%，规模是Pinterest全年营收的三倍多。Dibbo曾统管该业务及影视工作室的财务工作。
Amazon’s advertising arm took $17.2B in a quarter this year, up 24%, which is more than three times Pinterest’s annual revenue. Dibbo ran finance across that business and the studios beside it.

Pinterest had 640 million monthly users worldwide at the end of June, a record.
根据 Pinterest 自行公布的数据，今年上半年平均约有 8750 万用户位于欧盟。这一数字几乎是 2023 年使其成为《数字服务法案》首批 19 家指定服务之一的 4500 万门槛的两倍。
About 87.5 million of them were in the European Union, averaged across the first half of this year, on Pinterest’s own published count. That is nearly twice the 45 million threshold that made it one of the first 19 services designated under the Digital Services Act in 2023.
Dibbo 在声明中表示，他长期以来一直钦佩 Pinterest “在视觉搜索、购物和广告交汇处的独特角色”。
Dibbo said in a statement that he had long admired Pinterest’s “distinctive role at the intersection of visual search, shopping and advertising“.
Pinterest 每月处理超过 800 亿次搜索，其收入来源是针对这些搜索销售的广告，而非社交动态。
Pinterest handles more than 80 billion searches a month, and the money comes from the advertising sold against them rather than from a social feed.
