Joe’s unique abilities and expansive knowledge of COCC and the industry have allowed him to identify opportunities, drive projects and implement new products and technologies that have fueled COCC’s growth. Joe has been a critical liaison that has shaped COCC’s relationships with clients, understanding their changing technological needs and doing whatever it takes to help them succeed in a competitive market. Joe’s vision as President, reporting directly to me, will continue to benefit COCC immensely as the company turns the corner on its 50th anniversary.

During his seven years at COCC, Kyle has repeatedly demonstrated COCC’s “get it done” attitude when it comes to delivering results. Most recently, Kyle has been critical in building COCC’s sales support team, which has been responsible for supporting the incredible efforts that have allowed COCC to sign several new clients over the past few years. Kyle truly leads by example and is a shining example of the collaborative culture that is so important to the success of COCC.
