Dive Insight:
There’s been something of a revolving door, or maybe even a game of whack-a-mole, in the C-suite at Groupon, since co-founder, former chairman and major shareholder Eric Lefkofsky took over as CEO last summer. The COO position had been empty since around that time, when former COO Kal Raman left to oversee the company’s Asian business, only to depart altogether in August. Now the COO position is all set, but the company still needs a CFO.
