eBay’s Kristen Foster fronts panel on protecting and empowering consumers in the digital age

Recently the eBay Government Relations team addressed Consumers International (CI) at a summit in Hong Kong. The summit was in advance of World Consumer Rights Day 2017 and business and consumer groups’ high level engagement with the G20 in 2017. The Summit aimed to inform and support the development of CI’s position and activity on consumer protection and empowerment in the digital age, with insights from ecommerce experts in the field.

eBay’s Head of APAC GR Kristen Foster fronted a business and civil society panel on protecting and empowering consumers in the digital age. The panel also included the CEO of CI, CEO of VZBV and a representative from Google. Kristen highlighted the importance of ecommerce in harnessing small business and trade and referred to the role of “mumpreneurs” and “greypreneurs” as well as case studies of successful small businesses participating in trade via eBay’s marketplace.

As always, the eBay GR team is proud to represent eBay customers at important events like this across the globe.
