Joel Neoh

Joel Neoh (born 11 October 1983), is an entrepreneur whose first success was a million ringgit business venture at the age of 20 while still in university. At age 23, he won Malaysia's first corporate reality television programme, The Firm as the youngest contestant. He then co-founded Youth Asia and expanded it into a group of award winning internet companies.


Joel is currently the CEO of Groupon Malaysia as well as Groupon Taiwan - both part of the NASDAQ public-listed Groupon [GRPN], the world's fastest growing company ever (noted by Forbes).

Joel was published on the cover of Men's Health Magazine and recently named to both the "Malaysia Top 40 Under 40" and "Men of the Year" list.

In September 2010, he founded GroupsMore, which was acquired by Groupon at an undisclosed amount in January 2011. As CEO of both, Joel has successfully built and continues to lead Groupon Malaysia and Groupon Taiwan into one of the largest e-commerce businesses in the region.

As of 1 November 2011, Groupon Malaysia and Groupon Taiwan has over 3,000,000 subscribers and employs over 300 employees.
