Profil
Né en 1958, Scott Thompson a étudié au Stonehill College d’Easton (Massachusetts), où il décrochera un diplôme en comptabilité d’entreprise et en informatique. Il mettra d’abord ses compétences au service de Barclays Global Investors Services, où il sera chargé de définir une nouvelle technologie stratégique pour la plateforme et les infrastructures.
Scott Thompson rejoint ensuite Coopers Lybrand, avant que le cabinet d’audit, de consulting et d’expertise comptable ne se fonde dans Pricewaterhousecoopers (PwC). Sa mission consiste à apporter des solutions technologiques aux grands comptes financiers du cabinet, dont la banque Wells Fargo.
Scott Thompson rejoint le groupe Visa en 1997, où il gravira progressivement les échelons jusqu’au poste de vice-président, qu’il atteint en 2000. Il occupe les fonctions de directeur des systèmes d’informations d’Innovant pendant cinq ans. Ce poste l’a conduit à diriger le développement, le support et la maintenance ce cette filiale de Visa International.
C’est en 2005 que Scott Thompson, toujours affublé d’une moustache, prend la direction des systèmes d'information de PayPal. Là encore, son ascension sera ultra rapide : il n’aura besoin que de trois ans pour devenir PDG du service de paiement en ligne américain.
PayPal sera racheté peu après par le géant eBay (dont Scott Thompson devient administrateur), avant de devenir sa filiale la plus lucrative. PayPal réussira à surfer habilement sur le boom des ventes entre particuliers pour imposer son système de paiement sécurisé. Sous sa direction, PayPal a élargi sa base d’utilisateurs à 104 millions de personnes, dans près de 190 pays. Ces succès lui ont conféré une estime certaine dans la Silicon Valley.
Désigné « Entrepreneur de l’année » en 2011 par le cabinet Ernst & Young, Scott Thompson est appelé fin 2011 pour succéder à Carol Bartz à la tête de Yahoo. Sa mission, ardue, consiste à donner de la visibilité à la stratégie de Yahoo, et à améliorer ses positions sur le marché publicitaire.
Le nouveau PDG de Yahoo devra également opérer des choix capitalistiques primordiaux pour l’avenir du portail, comme l’ouverture du capital à de nouveaux investisseurs ou la cession de certains actifs, en particulier en Asie.
