Jermaine Cobbs, Founder and CEO of Cobhat, discovered his passion for technology early on as a junior at Chicago Vocational High School, where he started JC Works. His journey into the tech world began with a computer his father bought him as a gift. Curiosity got the better of young Jermaine, who found and disassembled the "hidden" computer, only to reassemble it perfectly before his father returned home.
In high school, Mr. Cobbs earned recognition in a statewide competition at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he built a working computer from scratch and identified internal components by touch. He then launched an in-school business providing computer sales and services, securing his first contract with the Chicago Public Schools to build and manage ten desktop computers.
Mr. Cobbs' career advanced significantly as he moved from an entry-level position to senior management in corporate America. He has worked for prominent organizations such as Ameritech (now AT&T), Best Buy, Dell, Chamberlin Edmonds (now Change Healthcare), MedAssets (now Vizient Health), Coca-Cola European Partners, Kids2, Facebook (now Meta), Lucidworks and Invesco. He has had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed individuals like former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar, former Coca-Cola CEO John Brock, former Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and Meta Founder & CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Mr. Cobbs’ extensive technology experience, business acumen, and adaptability make him a highly sought-after resource for individuals and businesses aiming to streamline operations, improve processes, and demonstrate fiscal responsibility.
