“I had the pleasure of working in DJ’s team at Groupon Goods over a period of 3+ years, between 2014 to 2017. He was brought on as head for product & engineering at a particularly testing time for the organization, both from stabilizing the quality of technology platform and addressing significant head winds in talent acquisition & retention. DJ steadily built a strong team of leaders and a framework to consistently deliver high quality software. Over his time at Goods, the technology platform saw massive improvement in all three areas: consumer experience, merchant experience & supply chain technologies. The team also progressively became a benchmark within Groupon as a team that builds effective partnership with business teams, leads in defining strategy & consistently delivers high quality products. If I were to call out a couple of specific qualities of DJ’s that stand out — he is extremely adept at building the bridge between technology & business, from a people & systems point of view. He also epitomizes “grace under fire” — no matter how difficult the situation, one can guarantee DJ to remain dispassionate in evaluating & taking action. ”
