Nilam Ganenthiran is the President of Instacart. Prior to joining Instacart in 2013, Nilam was a Management Consultant with AT Kearney’s Consumer Retail practice, and also worked in shopper marketing and brand management at Proctor and Gamble. Nilam is a graduate of York University’s Schulich School of Business and also holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School. In this episode I talk to Nilam about how he found the sales and marketing career path, why he thought he’d never be working at a tech startup, and his first job as (appropriately) a grocery store clerk. We also discuss how Instacart responded at the start of the pandemic, Instacart ads, and other opportunities he sees for the company.I hope you enjoy the show.Full transcript available here.
