"Fresh off rejecting Google\u2019s $6 billion acquisition offer, Groupon has added a new CFO, a move that will undoubtedly fuel further speculation that the quickly growing e-commerce outfit will go public.\nIn a statement, the company announced that it had named Jason Child to the position.  Child was most recently Amazon\u2019s VP of finance internationally \u2013 a $14 billion business.  \nAccording to his LinkedIn profile, Child previously served a variety of other finance roles within Amazon, including director of investor relations and VP of finance in Asia.\nThat experience will be useful both as Groupon weighs its financing options \u2014 which could include another huge round of funding or an IPO \u2014 and its international expansion.  The company has acquired a number of competitors in Europe and Asia in recent months."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
