Our alumna, Krenare Thaci Cobb (BS ’08 & MS ’11), currently holds the position of Vice President of Demand Generation within the Portfolio Operations Group at Sunstone Partners.

In this role, she serves as a core subject matter expert in B2B demand generation, offering guidance in the execution of demand generation efforts. Her primary focus is on supporting Sunstone-backed companies in creating high-performing marketing and demand generation functions across their portfolios. Sunstone Partners is a growth equity firm primarily focused on making majority and minority investments in technology-enabled services and software businesses. The firm seeks to partner with exceptional management teams, often as their first institutional capital partner, to help accelerate organic growth and fund acquisitions. The firm was founded in 2015 and has $800 million of committed capital under its first two funds.

Before joining Sunstone Partners, Keka held the position of Senior Director of Demand Generation at various notable organizations, including Walker Sands and Slack and Company—both B2B agencies. She also contributed her expertise at Project 44, a software solutions company for the Supply Chain Industry, and Textura Corporation, a provider of collaboration and productivity tools for the construction industry, which was later acquired by Oracle.

Keka holds a Master of Science in Service Management and a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science with majors in Management and Public Policy from RIT Kosovo (A.U.K) in Pristina, Kosovo.

“Earning both my BS and MS degrees at RIT Kosovo (A.U.K), I gained knowledge, skills, discipline, and experience. I developed a strong character which helped my career, helped increase my self-confidence, and life in general. Attending RIT Kosovo (A.U.K) and successfully completing both degrees required discipline and a will to succeed. I overcame procrastination and learned to do what it takes to reach my goals.  Thanks to RIT Kosovo (A.U.K), which is known worldwide, I am always positioned among the top three candidates for every role or position”.
