Aurore Anin
Senior Merchant Marketing Manager
Madrid
Why was Aurore nominated?
Longtime veteran Aurore embodies Groupon’s values through her leadership, innovation, and commitment to inclusivity. As a leader of the Women & Allies @Groupon ERG, she fosters open communication and creates spaces for meaningful dialogue and personal growth. Her work on the inclusive Fertility and Family Building Workplace Culture workshop this past quarter demonstrated her innovative approach to inclusivity, tackling an often-overlooked topic. Additionally, Aurore’s proactive efforts to revamp our corporate social media by seeking out teammates, partnerships, and exciting deals have been instrumental in highlighting our transformation. Her impact across multiple areas makes her a deserving recipient of the Transformer Award.
What did Aurore say about her award? 🏆
"I feel very honoured to receive this award, and truly grateful for this strong show of appreciation. As I've been in Groupon for over 10 years and I'm wearing many hats within the company—senior marketing manager, social lead, Women & Allies ERG chair— it's easy to wonder if what you do is still relevant for the business and your colleagues. This award shows me I'm still doing a great job at supporting my teammates, and boosts me to keep going and coming up with more ideas and initiatives. Still bleeding Groupon green!"
Lorenzo Berardi
Senior Marketing and Merchandising Coordinator
Warsaw
Why was Lorenzo nominated?
Nominated by 6 teammates across four orgs, Lorenzo has demonstrated exceptional dedication, cross collaboration and ownership, consistently exceeding expectations in his role. His meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach in handling Asana projects have optimised team workflows, ensuring that tasks are completed on time and with precision. Lorenzo’s innovative mindset drives process improvements, helping prevent errors that could impact customer experience while also fostering new revenue opportunities. His collaborative spirit and unwavering support for his colleagues make him an invaluable team member. Lorenzo’s contributions, rooted in his commitment to excellence, make him a deserving recipient of the Transformer Award.
What did Lorenzo say about his award? 🏆
"Getting this award was an honor and a surprise. I've been working for Groupon for 8 and a half years combined. I had a first spell in Editorial, followed by a hiatus working elsewhere, and then eventually coming back, this time in Marketing. It hasn't always been bread and roses throughout these years, but ultimately challenges are what makes it more interesting! Even though I'm a journalist and an English teacher by trade, I enjoy the cooperative aspects of this job, in which you can help people out and be helped by them on a variety of tasks, whilst learning new stuff in the process. It feels great when your eagerness to be a doer is noticed and rewarded. However, there are scores of other people across Groupon who would deserve this award and I'll try to let them get it too."
Congratulations to the winners!
