    CEO & Co-Founder at Cobu

    As many of you may know, my mother Yelena inspired the genesis of Cobu when she moved to an apartment building in NYC to fulfill her American Dream. Three years ago, she passed away after a courageous battle with ALS — a disease that took her ability to speak, walk, and function, but never her spirit. Her memory continues to inspire us to bring her love of community building, connecting people, and sparking joy to a global scale. To honor her legacy, our Cobu team is committed to building communities where everyone feels they belong and supporting the fight to end ALS. Since 2021, thanks to our incredible team and generous donors, we’ve raised over $30,000 for The ALS Association. This September and October, Cobu will participate in our 3rd Annual Walk to Defeat ALS in Orlando & Bangalore. The ALS Association does so much for the ALS community & research, and we are proud to support this important organization. Please consider donating or spreading the word. Together, we can create a world without ALS: https://lnkd.in/eKMY42ch Thank you for your support!

    Happy Customer Thursday! Each Thursday our entire team (across all time zones) comes together for “Customer Thursdays” to listen to clients and residents. Hearing directly from our customers inspires dialogue on ways we can drive more value and innovate. Today we heard from one of our residents in PA. Next week we will learn from some of our multifamily owner clients in Texas. It’s one of my favorite Cobu traditions and the meeting I most look forward to. The impact on our roadmap and culture has been invaluable. Curious to learn from others: how do you foster a culture of customer-centricity in your organizations? (picture below from City Center Group, one of our amazing client communities in Allentown, PA!)
