Hello! I'm Brent Cohen.

I’ve spent my career building things that didn’t exist before—campaigns, companies, technologies, and sometimes entire markets. I started out in politics, running hundreds of campaigns and producing thousands of ads, including building the first-ever website for the Republican National Committee. That early experience taught me how to think fast, execute under pressure, and lead with purpose.

Over the past four decades, I’ve advised three U.S. Presidents and a Pope, co-founded a major blockchain policy organization, and helped scale startups from concept to millions in revenue. I led the digital launch of Realtor.com, taking it from an idea to IPO, built eHobbies into a 400+ person and $20MM ARR company, and later managed a $150M initial coin offering. I’ve built partnerships with dozens of leading companies like Coca-Cola, Amazon, and Baidu, and helped global brands like Unilever and Estée Lauder evolve in the digital age. From Beijing during the smartphone boom to government ministries in Africa, I’ve been fortunate to build businesses in 11 countries by leading at the edge of global transformation.

Today, as Co-Founder and CEO of Boardroom One (B1), I’m focused on sovereign communications for governments and public sector leaders across Africa and the Middle East. I also run Team Impakt LLC, advising early-stage startups and established enterprises looking to scale with purpose. My approach blends strategic clarity, deep technical experience, and a collaborative mindset. I believe the best ideas are built together—and that technology is only powerful when it serves people.
