President & Founder
Tom Meissner founded Sedona Golf Products in his college apartment (1994) after working at a golf course during a year abroad in Spain. His original goal was to create a line of kid’s clubs to sell in Spain, however, Tom’s plan shifted, and he ended up designing and decorating custom golf and travel products for the US corporate market. In the late 1990s Tom started building online stores to sell more golf products. He quickly realized that there was an even greater opportunity to revolutionize the old-school way of fulfilling online company stores to an on-demand production model with no minimums and no inventory.
Tom founded iCoStore in 2002. His background in the corporate market, product design and decoration gave him a unique perspective on company stores. Tom built a team to design & build the custom platform that powers iCoStore. Today, iCoStore runs over 180 custom B2B online stores. Tom leads iCoStore and heads up new client acquisition; consulting, vetting and educating potential clients on the industry and finding the best solutions for their goals.
When he is not working or coaching youth sports, Tom likes to play golf, travel with his family, run, sail, kayak, bike, hike and snowboard.
