Gilt Groupe taps former Travelocity boss Michelle Peluso as CEO

    It’s ironic that Gilt Groupe hires the former Travelocity and Site59 CEO just as it is looking to jettison Jetsetter.

    Online luxury retailer Gilt Groupe has named Michelle Peluso, a member of the board, to the position of chief executive after conducting a months-long search for someone to replace founder and CEO Kevin Ryan.
