Groupon

Groupon provides a global marketplace where people can buy just about anything, anywhere, anytime. We’re enabling real-time commerce across an expanding range of categories including local businesses, travel destinations, consumer products, and live or lively events. At the same time, we are providing advertising options and tools that merchants can use to grow and manage their businesses.

Culturally, we believe that great people make great companies and that starting with the customer and working backward moves us forward. Community matters to us on an internal, local and global scale—it’s fundamental to our company’s growth and to the well-being of the world at large. We also value self-awareness, candor, lunch and WiFi. If we match with you, please apply to join us.

Last week, I celebrated my one-year anniversary at Groupon. I shared some of my thoughts with our global employees on the numerous accomplishments we’ve made together in executing our turnaround strategy to become THE destination for Local as well as the road ahead.

This month marked an important milestone for me personally – my one-year anniversary at Groupon. When I joined the team last December, I was excited about the potential our marketplace has to give our 20+ million customers memories that can last a lifetime.  

There is no question that we have faced both expected and unexpected challenges and had to make difficult decisions, however, our team has also accomplished so much together. And I’m even more excited about where the Groupon marketplace is headed than when I started. I’m motivated by the potential of the Groupon marketplace, and by all the progress our team has made this year executing our turnaround strategy to become THE destination for Local. 

We’ve been moving fast to test, learn and scale new initiatives – all with the goal of improving Local purchase frequency. The journey to transform our marketplace will not be a straight path but rather a winding road with twists, bumps and even a few detours along the way.  We’ve just begun our journey together, but looking back at 2022, I can see the green shoots of success. I am confident that the meaningful improvements we need to make to our inventory and customer experience are within reach.
