SEATTLE, June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, OfferUp
announced that Todd Dunlap will join
the company as its new chief executive officer and member of its
board of directors. Dunlap joins OfferUp from Booking.com, where he
helped open and grow the US market as its first managing director
nine years ago. Dunlap also plays a leadership role for Booking
Holdings, where he sets strategy and drives profitable growth
across the other North American brands, including Priceline, Agoda,
Kayak and OpenTable. Booking Holdings, traded on NASDAQ (BKNG), is
a multi-billion dollar valued US-based corporation.
Dunlap joins OfferUp at an exciting time for the company. "2020
was a pivotal year for OfferUp," said Nick
Huzar, OfferUp co-founder and current CEO. "OfferUp was a
critical lifeline to millions of Americans as our users looked to
buy and sell goods outside of the standard retail
environment. The pandemic demonstrated just how ubiquitous
recommerce can be, and OfferUp intends to continue to drive the
local recommerce movement as the economy opens back up. When I met
Todd, I knew that he was the right leader to help us realize the
vision I had when I started OfferUp and that his leadership and
experience will help our company achieve its full potential."
Huzar will retain the president and board chair titles and
manage customer-facing features and experience as OfferUp's chief
product officer.
"OfferUp has a community of 56 million highly engaged users, a
great product, and a talented team," said Dunlap. "This provides a
solid foundation on which to build and realize the huge potential
for future growth. OfferUp has a strong culture of innovation and
user-focused decision making, and I'm looking forward to working
closely with Nick and his team to continue to build on their
current success."
Prior to Booking.com, Dunlap worked at Microsoft in a variety of
roles, including as the vice president & COO of Microsoft's
Consumer & Online Division where he helped launch the original
Xbox. Before Microsoft, he led the Internet Business Unit at WRQ, a
global software and consulting firm. Dunlap earned two Bachelor of
Science degrees, one in aerospace engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the other
in business administration from Park
University. Dunlap has also completed graduate
programs at Stanford and the
University of Washington. He
serves on the board of directors for Better Collective (BETCO), a
leader in online gaming. He will begin at OfferUp in July.
