it’s a move from banking to bling.
Tracey Weber, who won numerous and accolades and awards for her tenure as managing director of internet and online banking at Citigroup, has been named the chief operating officer at online retailer Gilt Group.
Yes, Gilt. She couldn’t be farther from the banking industry now.
Gilt is the go-to place for deals on luxury items. It has been described like this: “Imagine Amazon and Groupon had a baby … and it won the lottery. Then you have Gilt.com.”
Gilt offers deal on items such as spa treatments, plastic surgery, housecleaning, horse shows, and steaks. Good steaks.
Weber parted ways with Citibank in June and was replaced by Citi veteran Melissa Stevens. Stevens was essentially Weber’s deputy.
Citigroup holds $1.9 trillion of assets.
