Awenate Cobbina, executive committee chair of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and former Detroit Pistons executive, has taken a new job overseeing the investment and philanthropy of Shinola founder Tom Kartsotis.
Cobbina started earlier this month as CEO of Bedrock Group LP, the Dallas-based investment arm of Kartsotis, who owns Detroit-based Shinola and Seattle-based outdoor brand C.C. Filson.
Cobbina will be based in Detroit and maintain his role at the MEDC, where he is helping the organization locate a permanent leader, which he said he anticipates happening in the next six weeks.
