Hi, I’m Omari Ross, a New Yorker with a global lens shaped by time spent living in San Francisco, Boston, Argentina, London, and Tulum. These experiences have fueled my drive to build across cultures, industries, and markets.

After beginning my career at PwC advising Fortune 500 companies on post M&A Go To Market strategy, I joined Adapdix (now Aispire), an AI and ML startup, as Chief of Staff where I led product development and strategic partnerships through its early scale up phase. Following that, I joined Bay Bridge Ventures where I focused on AI and Big Data investments, conducted diligence, and supported portfolio founders with operational strategy. The experience reignited my desire to build, so I co-founded Cosmos Group, a startup studio focused on AI innovation. Our first company, BrandSocial, is an AI powered social media platform built to manage content at scale, specifically for private equity backed healthcare groups. Today, I serve as the AI GTM Lead at io, a Providence Equity Partners portfolio company, where I help shape and commercialize our AI roadmap to drive platform adoption and industry leadership. I’m also a health nut and co-founder of NARC (Not A Run Club), a fast growing wellness community creating third spaces across NYC and London that blend fitness, connection, and culture. Let’s connect and build something extraordinary.
