Steve Kogan
President & Founder
a.k.a. "Boss Man"


Steve KoganThe Employee Network, established in August 1998 by Arizona native Steve Kogan, was a 2 a.m. brainstorm that has built the 13 year old company that exists today. His vision was to develop a place where trusted merchant partners could advertise discounts to the corporate employees in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.

The Employee Network member base started with one company's 9,000 employees, who benefited by having one clear concise place to find ALL of their available employee discounts. The discounts that are offered to Employee Network Members are managed on a daily basis by The Employee Network staff rather than the corporations.

Steve recalls, "In August 1998 we started with just 9,000 employee members from one major corporation and today our member base is over 500,000 from more than 91 of the largest corporations and government agencies across the nation."

With an experienced staff, The Employee Network continues to bring in quality vendors who are happy to offer a discount to our exclusive membership program.

While in college, Donnie learned many web, design, audio and video skills with help from local internships in the Austin area.

Donnie is an absolute sports fanatic. His loyalties will always be with his Alma mater, but he has also quickly embraced the Suns, Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Coyotes. Those who know him best, know that Donnie is borderline obsessive over Manchester United FC (a soccer team from Manchester, England) and attending the World Cup is at the top of his personal "bucket list".

Donnie on The Employee Network: "I love how we at The Employee Network use many different ways to gather, filter and distribute valuable information to our customers and merchants. This flow of information and advertising is constantly moving and benefits everyone involved. We have a lot of ideas we are working on with our site that will make that flow of information faster, easier and more efficient and that is extremely exciting moving forward."
