Sean Li, recently appointed as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), came onboard as Cooperate began experiencing record revenue growth, and has significantly influenced Cooperate Marketing's technological advancements and growth strategies. His background as a Software Engineer, Management Consultant, and Data Scientist pioneering experience in machine learning–even before the recent popularity–coupled with his expertise in using data insights and AI to fuel product development have been pivotal in shaping Cooperate's approach to addressing business needs.
"Sean brings a wealth of expertise, executive leadership and vision to advance our development team. As we continue to deliver bespoke marketing technology solutions tailored to meet our clients' needs, Sean and his growing team will propel our tech capabilities into a new era," said Brian Fourman, Founder & CEO of Cooperate Marketing.
Cooperate has recently invested in a number of tech-focused hires across a variety of disciplines from software to AI, including Front-end and Back-end development, Cloud and DevOps, Data Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLM). These new hires galvanize Cooperate's core tech-stack offering with a deep bench and excellence at all levels, while further providing a full end-to-end comprehensive solution.
Adding a Senior Data Engineer and several seasoned Full Stack Software Engineers underscores Cooperate's mission to be a "high tech, high touch" MarTech firm. "We take great pride in offering 100% customizable platform solutions built by marketers, for marketers," said Ryan Parker, Cooperate's Director of Operations & Growth. "Building out a comprehensive technology and development team expands our agency's ability to incorporate new technologies and provide more robust custom solutions to our current and prospective client partners, and that really excites us moving forward."
Sean Li added, "These new hires not only have technical acumen, but are also a great fit to our culture. It was evident that each of these individuals possess the necessary enterprising spirit one needs to succeed at a small-to-medium-sized privately held firm, where teams must be nimble, collaborate effectively, and execute flawlessly no matter the challenges or deliverables. These are exciting times at Cooperate and I can't wait to see what the future holds."
