Interview with Rob Braiman

Rob Braiman CEO / Managing Member Cogent Analytics

Background Information

I have a long-standing reputation as a "serial entrepreneur," and I’ve spent 15 years working directly with business owners to improve strategic planning, operations, growth, and profitability.

I founded Cogent Analytics after spending over 10 years as a senior business analyst helping to improve and build main street businesses across the country. The company has now been ranked for 2 consecutive years on the Inc 500/Inc 5000 list of fastest growing companies in the country and # 5 in the state of NC.  

I have personally engaged with over 1700 businesses across the United States and I continue my work to further the interests of other business owners like myself. The mission of Cogent Analytics is to bring tools of better management, organization, and profitability to privately held, small to mid-sized businesses; and to deliver our services with integrity and transparency.

Cogent’s primary objective in every interaction, is to put the interests of the client first. In support of that directive, I’ve built a company culture based on a code of honor, courage, wisdom, faith, perseverance, and loyalty. The foundation of my value system started in the U.S. Military as a young man serving with SOCOM and my deeply-rooted personal code is what I demand of myself every day;  and is what I ask the employees of Cogent to embrace. Service to others under this code is at the very core of the entrepreneurial spirit and of which is a foundational pillar at Cogent.

I support former military members during their transition to civilian life and It's a privilege to help them discover the value of their military experience as they seek employment and find success in the business world.

 A husband of 24 years and a father of two, I stand committed to my family, my community, and to my employees and clients.
