Android leader leaves Google for Coupons.com

Steve Horowitz, one of Google's team leaders on Android mobile OS development, has been appointed Chief Technology Officer of Coupons Inc., online promotions company responsible for Coupons.com

Online retail has been seen as a growth channel for many years, but has not proven to be immune to recession spending cutbacks. ComScore showed 2008 online holiday spending to have dropped around 2% against 2007. Analysts expected the drop in sales to be much steeper, were it not for the discounts that major online retailers offered.

Coupons, therefore, are playing an increasingly important role in successful e-commerce.

"[Coupons.com] is at a pivotal point in its business," said Horowitz, "And I am eager to help further advance its development and deployment of new platforms and services for digital promotions."
