Perspective
Sean Senvirtne, an Australian entrepreneur, founded MyDeal and also currently serving as its CEO.[2] Between 2007 and 2011, while working on advertising packages, Senvirtne conceptualized the idea for MyDeal, leading to its establishment.[3][4]
In 2021, MyDeal expanded[5][6] its executive team by appointing Ryan Gracie as its first Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).[7] Prior to joining MyDeal, Gracie was part of Catch.com.au. This appointment preceded MyDeal's comprehensive rebranding initiative.[8]
In September 2022,[9] it was acquired by Woolworths Group,[10] a major retail company in Australia.
In October 2022, MyDeal experienced a significant data breach, where personal information of approximately 2.2 million customers was exposed.[11] The breach included names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Woolworths Group promptly responded, apologizing for the incident and taking immediate steps to secure the compromised data and prevent future breaches.[12]
In June 2025, Woolworths Group announced to the ASX that they would close down MyDeal by 30 September 2025 due to a lack of profitability and intense competition. MyDeal's platform would be incorporated into Woolworths Group's other marketplace platforms including Everyday Market and Big W Market. [13]
