About Garrett Gross

I lead growth at Xemelgo, where I focus on marketing, partnerships, and helping customers and sellers get real, measurable value from RFID and real-time operational data.I’m an engineer by training with an MBA, and I’ve built my career at the intersection of manufacturing, technology, and growth. I’ve been onsite in 100+ manufacturing and industrial facilities, learning firsthand how operations actually run, where systems break down, and what it takes to deploy technology that frontline teams use every day.My background spans mechanical and manufacturing engineering, product management, and startups. I’ve worked on everything from iPhones to helicopters, and previously founded a software startup focused on part compatibility in the cycling industry. That experience taught me how to build, ship, fail fast, and learn faster, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.At Xemelgo, I’ve built our marketing function from the ground up, grown a strong partner ecosystem, and supported customers deploying RFID, IIoT, cloud, and AI solutions in production. I believe real growth comes from curiosity, grit, and continuous improvement, building better teams, stronger partnerships, and technology that works where the work actually happens.Always happy to connect to talk B2B growth, partnerships, manufacturing, or what it really takes to make RFID work at scale.
