Cobalto Consulting

What Cobalto Consulting does

Cobalto Consulting is a Dominican Republic-headquartered private consulting and training firm founded in 2019 by Carlos Paulino, a Certified Scrum Trainer and Enterprise Agile Coach with 20+ years of experience. The company sells four AIBES-accredited agile certifications — Official Scrum Master (OSMC), Official Product Owner (OPOC), Official Scrum Developer (OSDC), and Official Agile Coach — alongside complementary project management training (PMBOK-based courses, PMP exam preparation), technical software development courses (Java, C#, JavaScript, unit testing, software architecture), and bespoke corporate training engagements. Pricing per program ranges from $249 to $1,699, with cohorts capped at 25 participants delivered via virtual live sessions.

The business operates through a hybrid digital-and-direct go-to-market: an e-commerce storefront (cobaltoconsulting.com/tienda) for individual course purchases, paired with direct sales for corporate consulting, outsourcing, and custom training contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time course fees (certifications and capacitaciones) and professional services fees from consulting and outsourcing engagements. Customers include Banco BHDLEON, FT Generals, Mideas Capital, BakerTilly, and other LATAM-region enterprises, with the company claiming to have trained 3,000+ professionals across 10+ countries.

The firm has 1–10 employees, is founder-led, has not raised external funding, and operates from a single office in Santo Domingo. Its value proposition rests on three pillars: AIBES-accredited international certification validity, Spanish-language curriculum tailored for Latin American professionals, and the founder's personal credibility as a senior agile practitioner in the region. Strategic priorities reflected in the offering include deepening certification ladder breadth, expanding across LATAM geographies, and capturing enterprise transformation engagements beyond the individual learner segment.
