About Me

Carl Cook took over as CEO of his parents' medical device manufacturer, Cook Group, when his father Bill died in 2011.

Cook's parents started the business in their Bloomington, Indiana apartment in 1963. Cook is also the president of a Cook Group life sciences division called Cook MyoSite, which is developing a cell therapy to treat urinary incontinence.
