Marika Nebesky
Commercial GTM & Ops Specialist
Chicago, US
Why was Marika nominated?
A Groupon Veteran of 7 Years this coming April, Marika is no stranger to embracing change, staying agile and doing so with what her teammates describe as “constant positivity”. Marika recently led a project to update our 3PIP deals, making pricing management more dynamic and efficient. Her leadership ensured buy-in from all parties involved, streamlined processes, and relieved Sales Operations from manual tasks. Thank you, Marika, for embodying our values of Ownership & Accountability, Customer-focus, and Transparency; we’re lucky to have you on the team!
What did Marika say about her award? 🏆
"Being a Grouponer, there’s almost this “je ne sais quoi'' factor that is like no other. Our people, our merchants and our customers are continuously the driving antidote to this ever-changing e-commerce landscape. One cannot exist without the other and I owe this recognition to those who have made my 7 years here truly life-changing.
By challenging the status quo, we’re creating more opportunities to foster a deeper understanding of what it means to be here. I’m so proud of us and as we continue to navigate change, I'm looking forward to celebrating each and every one of YOU!"
Kyle Netzly
Chief Accounting Officer
Chicago, US
Why was Kyle nominated?
Kyle is a Groupon veteran with nearly 9 years of service and knowledge, and she was chosen by S-Team this month for showcasing indispensable leadership during our recent 10-K closing. She deftly navigated discussions with auditors regarding our Going Concern status, demonstrating her seasoned expertise. Despite team attrition, Kyle adeptly kept her colleagues focused, ensuring they maintained speed and delivery throughout the process, all while operating with our value of Respect, Integrity & Inclusion in mind. Thank you, Kyle, for being the epitome of the talent we want to see grow their careers at Groupon.
What did Kyle say about her award? 🏆
"Thank you so much for this recognition! I am grateful everyday to work with genuinely intelligent and good-hearted teammates, without whom my success would not be possible. I have learned an incredible amount in my tenure at Groupon from leadership and management skills to how to approach a variety of accounting and business matters. Most importantly, I learn something new everyday about how to be a valuable team member. Thanks again Groupon!"
