????日前,，Crain's Chicago率先報(bào)道稱，每日?qǐng)F(tuán)購(gòu)交易巨頭Groupon已經(jīng)聘請(qǐng)谷歌（Google）高管馬格?吉爾亞迪擔(dān)任公司新的首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官,。吉爾亞迪目前為谷歌全球銷售規(guī)劃和技術(shù)副總裁,，是谷歌在芝加哥級(jí)別最高的員工。 ????Groupon的羅伯?所羅門于上月離職,，官方說(shuō)法是他想返回加州北部,，此后，Groupon創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官安德魯?梅森一直在為公司物色新的二號(hào)人物（一些報(bào)道指出,，所羅門和梅森一直不和,，而另一些則質(zhì)疑前雅虎高管所羅門是否真的有能力掌控如此大規(guī)模的業(yè)務(wù)）。 ????也就是說(shuō),，吉爾亞迪成為了團(tuán)購(gòu)界的謝樂(lè)兒?桑德博格（謝樂(lè)兒?桑德博格為Facebook首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官——譯注）,。當(dāng)然，如果Facebook的Deals團(tuán)購(gòu)平臺(tái)真的做大,，那么就沒(méi)吉爾亞迪什么事了,。 ????這次事件中有意思的地方是,，谷歌去年曾提出以60億美元收購(gòu)Groupon,，不過(guò)被后者斷然拒絕。據(jù)傳,，Groupon正在準(zhǔn)備首次公開(kāi)募股（IPO）,，甚至還聘請(qǐng)了高盛（Goldman Sachs）和摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）作為主承銷商，公司估值目前已超過(guò)250億美元,。聘請(qǐng)吉爾亞迪對(duì)于Groupon而言非常關(guān)鍵,，因?yàn)槿绻靖吖苋诉x懸而未決，那么公開(kāi)市場(chǎng)的投資者將不大有興趣買進(jìn)公司股票,。預(yù)計(jì)吉爾亞迪要花幾個(gè)月才能在新公司安頓下來(lái),，接下來(lái)，Groupon可能就會(huì)[向美國(guó)證交會(huì)]提出上市申請(qǐng)…… ????吉爾亞迪于2009年10月加盟谷歌,。在此之前的9個(gè)月,，她在專注于個(gè)人消費(fèi)者的私募股權(quán)公司Synetro Capital擔(dān)任負(fù)責(zé)人。更早之前,，她在Discover Financial Services擔(dān)任首席市場(chǎng)官和負(fù)責(zé)卡片產(chǎn)品的執(zhí)行副總裁,。吉爾亞迪同時(shí)還是服裝零售商Jones Group的董事會(huì)成員。 ????譯者：項(xiàng)航 |
????Daily deals giant Groupon has hired Google (GOOG) executive Margo Georgiadis as its new chief operating officer, as first reported by Crain's Chicago. She currently is Google's highest-ranking officer in Chicago, where she serves as a VP of global sales planning and technology. ????Groupon founder and CEO Andrew Mason has been serving for a new number two since Rob Solomon quit last month, officially because he wanted to return to Northern California (some reports suggested he and Mason weren't on the some page, while others wondered if the former Yahoo exec was really up to the task of running such a large operation). ????So Georgiadis becomes Sheryl Sandberg for the daily deals world. Well, unless Facebook really scales its Deals platform, which would make Sheryl Sandberg the Sheryl Sandberg of the daily deals world. ????The interesting part of this, of course, is that Google offered to buy Groupon last year for $6 billion, but was rebuffed. Groupon now is rumored to be prepping an IPO that could value the company at upwards of $25 billion, having even hired Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as lead underwriters. Hiring Georgiadis is a vital next step, since public market investors would be loathe to buy into a company whose senior management is unsettled. Expect it will take Georgiadis a few months to settle in, and then perhaps an S-1 could be passing through Edgar... ????Prior to joining Google in October 2009, Georgiadis spent nine months as a principal with consumer-focused private equity firm Synetro Capital. Before that, she was chief marketing officer and executive VP of card products for Discover Financial Services. Georgiadis also is listed as a board member of apparel retailer Jones Group. |
