Sharon Abbruscato

Director of Human Resources

Sharon is likely the first person you’ll meet at North State Consulting! Beginning her journey in August of 2019, Sharon stepped into her role as Director of Human Resources and took on the responsibilities of benefits administration, company policies, and general human resources management. If a team member wants to insure their success, it’s fair to say that Sharon will be involved in some way, shape, or form. When she isn’t supporting the North State team, she is supporting her loved ones; especially her two children.

Jake Cockerham

Team Lead

My name is Jake Cockerham. I have been in sales for about 4 years. North State Consulting is by far one of the best work environments I have been a part of in my sales career. They really care about us and want us to grow and succeed. I love the challenge that working in sales provides every day. North State is constantly pushing me to step out of comfort zone in order to grow. When you work at a place that cares that much about your success it makes coming into work easy.
