Meet the People Behind Groupize

Behind Every Great Meeting is a Great Team

Groupize isn’t just software—it’s people. Behind every product decision, support conversation, feature release, and customer success story is a team of experts who care deeply about making meetings and travel simpler, smarter, and more compliant.

Our team is built from the best in travel, tech, events, and enterprise SaaS. Some of us have been in the industry for decades. Others are rethinking it from the ground up. Together, we’re solving challenges that legacy platforms have ignored for years—bringing real innovation to how organizations plan, manage, and measure meetings.

We move fast, collaborate often, and always put the customer first. And whether you’re a Fortune 500 travel leader or just getting started with meeting automation, chances are someone on the Groupize team has helped build the solution that’s right for you.

Our team

Meetings Are Hard. Good People Make Them Easier.

From day one, our goal has been clear: Empowering everyone to create seamless and impactful meetings and events through innovative, intuitive solutions that build trust and foster connection.

That mission fuels everything we do—from the way we build to how we support our customers. We’re a curious, collaborative, and candid team that believes the best solutions are the ones people actually enjoy using. We’re proud of what we’ve built—and even prouder of the team behind it.
