Last year, I reminisced about my time at Groupon, and wondered what might be next. It's been over eight and a half years since I started at Groupon and today was my last day.

While I was never incredibly enthusiastic about internet coupons, I was fortunate to work with so many talented, generous and fun people in my time at Groupon. It's really because of them that I stuck around for so long, and because of them that I have grown enough to take the next step in my career.
