Program Manager, Membership
Groom leads the corporate membership offering at the Institute for Experiential AI. He most recently managed a portfolio of category-leading Amazon FBA brands as a brand manager at Thrasio, the world’s largest acquirer of Amazon third-party private label businesses.
He honed his startup chops at GoLocker, where he helped lead growth and strategy by tackling last-mile delivery challenges for brands, primarily those not selling or fulfilling through Amazon. His team deployed a network of parcel lockers throughout New York City, creating local pickup points for online orders with 15k parcels moving through the network. Later, Groom helped launch the first unmanned, self-serve package pick-up and drop-off retail store in New York’s East Village.
Previous to GoLocker, Groom spent 4+ years at a boutique investment firm as an underwriter trading debt instruments for large institutional clients.
Groom gets excited building tools that make teams data-driven, streamlined, and collaborative. A native New Englander who uses any excuse to escape the city for a hike or bike ride, he attended Tufts University where he earned his bachelor’s degree in economics.
