GrouponSales Manager | Founding Member | UK Launch Team
Nov. 2009 - Nov. 2011Groupon is a daily deal website, offering 60-90% discounts on experiences in and around the major cities across 29 countries. I was the one of the original team at My City Deal UK and enjoyed growing with the business as we opened up cities around the country, became the market leaders in the UK, joined forces with Groupon and were named “The fastest growing business in the world, ever!” by Forbes magazine in August 2010. I returned to Groupon after a short secondment, in May 2011 and led the new Groupon Now! App sales team, acquiring new business in readiness to launch the new mobile platform. Responsibilities and achievements;
• As the company grew from 6 to 800 employees, I consistently sustained a position as one of the top 3 sales people in the UK.
• As a Senior Consultant, I primarily worked with premium and national brands, for example: Thistle, Hilton, Radisson, Chelsea Football Club, Fortnum and Mason, AEG Live and a number of Harley Street practices.
