Craig Cooke
Craig Cooke is a successful entrepreneur who had the foresight to start a “digital first” company long before “digital first,” “digital transformation,” and other buzzwords of today were created. With extremely limited resources of $1,300 and a computer, he started RhythmNet.com. Over years of struggle and adaptation, “Rhythm“ was sold to a world-class digital creative agency in 2019. Craig stayed with the company for just over 3 years, completing a 26-year marathon of running the company as CEO, working with middle-market to large-enterprise companies.
Craig has been honored with numerous organizational and personal awards, some of which include:
- Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies, five years in a row
