Ready William J

William J Ready — a technology executive whose most prominent role was Chief Operating Officer at PayPal Holdings during the company's 2015–2019 expansion era — carries a Form 4 registration profile of 296 transactions across five issuers, with the action concentrated almost entirely in the post-PayPal period. PayPal itself, where Ready accumulated a large position during his executive tenure, has been dormant in the register since September 2019 — no buys or sells since his departure, a now-standard pattern for a fully-vested legacy executive position left to run. The live activity in the file is spread across two names: Williams Sonoma, where Ready has built a small but persistent accumulation pattern of direct-share purchases since March 2020 — eleven separate acquisitions totaling approximately 3,200 shares across multiple grant or open-market events, all held as a long-term consumer-discretionary sleeve; and Pinterest, where the register shows a much more active trading rhythm — six sales between July 2024 and April 2026 at prices ranging from $20.64 to $37.11, interleaved with five larger acquisitions of restricted stock or RSU vesting events, producing a net reduction in Pinterest shares even as Ready continues to receive equity awards. The pattern at Pinterest is consistent with an insider executing a planned 10b5-1 or pre-arranged sell program into strength — selling at $20–37 range while maintaining the position through vesting — with the most recent sale at $20.64 in April 2026 representing roughly $662K in proceeds. A small position in Automatic Data Processing (ADP) was accumulated through 2024, while a one-off Visa purchase in October 2025 appears as a single-trade sleeve addition. The net profile is of a diversified executive whose primary concentrated-vested position (PayPal) is locked and static, whose secondary positions are actively managed through a mix of accumulation (WSM), vest-and-trim cycles (PINS), and opportunistic sleeve adds (ADP, V).
