Background

About Rob Cooper

A seasoned IT solutions strategist with over 28 years of experience, I stand at the intersection of technology and relationships in the Texas public sector. My career, spanning 18 years with CDW and a decade with OEMs, has been defined by cultivating an extensive network of C-level executives and IT directors across North Texas cities and counties. As a native Dallasite, I leverage my deep local roots and technical acumen to deliver tailored, innovative solutions in converged infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and enterprise mobility. My track record speaks volumes: I've transformed a $500k account into a $15 million powerhouse and established multi-million dollar partnerships with major cities, counties and school districts. Consistently exceeding $20M+ annual sales quotas, I don't just sell technology – I architect long-term success strategies that address the unique challenges of State, Local, and K-12 Education sectors. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I'm deeply committed to excellence and community service. My dedication has been recognized through numerous accolades, including CDW Coworker of the Year in 2017 and a three-time qualifier for the prestigious President's Achievement Trip. However, my passion extends beyond the boardroom. As an active Boy Scout leader, I organize conservation-focused service projects, fostering leadership and environmental stewardship in the next generation. My commitment to the Dallas community is further exemplified through my work with the Dallas Parks Department, where I monitor nesting raptors, including a pair of Bald Eagles at White Rock Lake and lead through my neighborhood association or with my son's boy scout troop, Blackland Prairie restoration, invasive species removal and reseeding with native flora. During crises like Hurricanes Ike and Harvey, I've leveraged my professional and personal networks to provide critical IT equipment and supplies to first responders and affected communities, embodying the spirit of giving back that drives both my professional and personal life.
