Groupon Makes Dell Exec New Intl SVP As Sawmer Brothers Step Further Away

Amidst a series of ongoing accounting-related controversies in the U.S., Groupon has appointed a new SVP to oversee international operations based out of Austria. Veit Dengler comes from Dell, where he had been since 2005, most recently as GM of its consumer and small/medium business units in Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe. The announcement, TechCrunch understands, was made to employees earlier today in an email from Groupon's CEO Andrew Mason, who told staff that Dengler will be taking over the role in the coming months. His LinkedIn profile already indicates he is with the company. He will be replacing the Samwer brothers, Oliver and Marc, who had been continuing to oversee operations ever since Groupon bought Samwer-backed CityDeal site as part of its move into Europe in 2010.
