The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and Nikkei have called Love Goel the "Digital Whiz-Kid", the "Father of Multi-Channel Retail", and
one of the "Most Innovative Business Leaders" of our time — for transforming iconic companies into digital market leaders, for
being the only Silicon Valley CEO to build three billion dollar internet start-ups in his 20's, for acquiring 100 million+ customers
both online and offline, and pioneering many of the most innovative digital business models - social networks, flash sales, deal-
of-the-day, retail closeouts, e-fulfillment, real time advertising, e-florists, custom jewelry, retail credit, and e-coupons.
He sold his first software company at age 12, built the world’s largest Apple store in his first job, worked on the successful
turnaround of Sears in his early 20's, and transformed Macy's (as COO) in his mid-20's - into the world's top multi-channel
retailer. In his mid-20’s, as Fingerhut's COO, he transformed the American direct marketing icon into the world's largest internet
retail network, earning it a spot on Fortune’s list of top 10 new economy companies, quadrupling its market capitalization, and
resulting in its sale to Macy’s for $2 billion, the largest sum ever paid for an internet retailer.
He currently serves as Chairman and CEO of GVG Capital Group, a global private equity firm transforming companies into
market leaders. He has created four successful private equity funds, acquired 25 companies, created $30 billion in shareholder
value, and helped dozens of market leaders like Amazon, Wal-Mart, Nike, BMW, New York Times, Cargill, and American Express
successfully navigate the new economy.
He is a globally sought after thought leader, keynote speaker, governance expert and media personality; and appears frequently
in media outlets like CNN, BBC, Nikkei, and Economic Times of India. He has lived and worked in three continents, speaks four
languages, and is a Henry Crown Fellow of The Aspen Institute. He serves on several corporate and non-profit boards, as
visiting faculty to several top universities, and as Chairman of The Fashion School at Kent, one of the world’s premier fashion
schools with campuses in Asia, Europe and North America.
He has been recognized for building and leading the world’s top new economy companies by Fortune, CNBC, Wall Street
Journal, Computerworld, Internet World Germany, Silicon India, Upside, Red Herring, Industry Standard and Fast Company.
