Who We Are - Our Mission
The Home market in North-America and Europe has a size of ~$840bn and offers Wayfair great opportunities for further growth. In 2020 alone, we generated revenues of $14bn while being present in the US, Canada, UK and Germany. As such, there is significant future growth potential for us available and expanding into new geographies in the EU is one major way to make this happen.
The job of the EU Geographic Expansion team is to build and align the playbook for the next phase of Wayfair’s geographic growth in Europe. To achieve this we are working with almost every Wayfair team to define the potential Go-To-Market strategy, identify dependencies and build out the strategy for future market launches.
