PayPal Makes Venmo a Separate Unit as CEO Lores Looks to Boost Growth
- On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, PayPal Holdings, Inc. announced a strategic reorganization into three business units: Checkout Solutions & PayPal, Consumer Financial Services & Venmo, and Payment Services & Crypto, alongside a new artificial intelligence transformation group.
- PayPal CEO Enrique Lores is betting that a sharper corporate structure will reignite growth; the CEO, who took the role in March 2025, aims to regain ground lost to rivals Apple, Google, and Stripe in e-commerce transactions.
- Amid the structural transition, executives Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill are departing, while Frank Keller was appointed to lead Checkout Solutions & PayPal and Anshu Bhardwaj became Chief AI Transformation & Simplification Officer.
- Venmo, with its nearly 100 million users, will operate as a standalone segment within Consumer Financial Services, expanding into broader financial services while enabling the company to better track progress for its most valuable asset.
- PayPal reports first-quarter results next week as it navigates operational shifts; earlier this year, managers were tasked with identifying 15% headcount reductions, an effort that stalled after former CEO Alex Chriss was replaced.
