Bob Delisa

It’s no surprise that Bob studied entrepreneurial studies and finance in college given that he grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. Around the time he graduated, personal computers were becoming widely adopted in the business world. Bob quickly discovered that he had a knack for making computers more efficient for his coworkers. His expertise, in early versions of Windows and network operating systems, caught the attention of the corporate world, including Microsoft. Bob turned down the offer, choosing to work instead for a leading network integration firm. While there he honed his expertise in Novell and Windows NT/2000. His strong reputation in this area combined with family support gave him the courage to set out on his own. He launched Cooperative Systems in 1993. Though he has extensive technical experience, today, his primary role is to drive the vision, go-to-market strategy, and leadership at CoopSys. Known for his drive and cheerful personality along with his comfort in taking risks, he’s the perfect person for this role. He appreciates CoopSys’ incredible clients and colleagues both current and past. In his off-hours, he enjoys spending time with his wife, family, and favorite animals (dogs and horses). He’s thrilled about his new role as grandfather and enjoys sailing, skiing, traveling, and working on his farm.
