Social shopping company LivingSocial this morning announced that it has recruited an experienced chief financial officer, notably mere weeks after Amazon veteran Jason Child was appointed that role at rival Groupon. Funnily enough, Child's former employer is the company that just pumped $175 million into LivingSocial.
LivingSocial's fresh CFO is John Bax, a former Wal-Mart executive that most recently served as chief financial officer at RecycleBank.
