The Cobalt Group works with leaders of all types. The Cobalt Practice Model emphasizes the importance of working alongside leaders and stakeholders to help develop and leverage relationships, manage complex partnerships, and create convergence of resources and opportunities to achieve results.

Cobalt Group is uniquely qualified to provide services for public-private partnerships, corporate and entrepreneurial endeavors and complex economic development initiatives. For over a decade since Patti Choby founded the Cobalt Group, the focus of our work has been in priority areas with regional impact, specifically housing, business development and job creation, workforce investment, education/youth development, and health services -- all of which work together to impact the quality of life and economic viability of a region. A variety of projects have been completed for a broad cross-section of public and private sector clients, locally and nationally.

Cobalt Group is now building on this rich history as we expand the practice model further into the private sector. Building on the experience of Mark Smith, both with large high growth companies and entrepreneurial start-up endeavors, Cobalt Group brings a wealth of services to corporate leaders and entrepreneurs in any size/stage company who are committed to pursuing sustainable excellence.
