Peter Larkin Joins Manomet Inc. Board

Plymouth, MA – Manomet announces that Peter Larkin, Principal/Owner of Larkin Consulting and former President and CEO of the National Grocers Association, has joined the board of directors. Now in its 50th year, Manomet Inc. is a science-driven sustainability nonprofit committed to building a more sustainable world.

In his current role, Larkin leads Larkin Consulting LLC, a firm that helps organizations learn how to successfully navigate the complex world of supermarkets, grocery and specialty wholesalers and industry suppliers.
