Greg Hocutt

President and Chief Executive Officer

Upon graduating from The University of Alabama in 1995 with a degree in Healthcare Management, Hollis Cobb CEO, Greg Hocutt, quickly realized that there was too little information technology in the healthcare financial management arena, and made it his goal to bring more technology to the industry. Greg worked for 10 years at an agency in Birmingham, Alabama managing various types of portfolios ranging from government, auto, credit cards, medical and debt purchase.  While in Birmingham, he was named to the prestigious Top 40 under 40 list in recognition of distinguished accomplishments in his chosen profession.

In 2008, Alan and Mike Cobb recruited Greg to take over operations at Hollis Cobb, giving him flexibility to apply technology and analytics to the company’s business model. Under Greg’s leadership, Hollis Cobb expanded outside of Georgia into other healthcare markets across the U.S. and grew the company’s revenues 10 times over in a little over a decade.  Under Greg’s leadership, Hollis Cobb has also expanded service offerings from Early Out and Bad Debt collections to encompass insurance follow up, pre-registration, customer service, scheduling and other Patient Access services.

In 2011 Greg spearheaded the development of a mergers and acquisitions strategy which lead to acquisitions of other agencies including one in Chicago in 2012; two agencies in Georgia in 2013; an agency in Mobile in 2014; a larger agency in Jackson, MS in 2016; and finally, a very large agency in Boston in 2021. He also oversaw a move in 2017 to a new location tripling the space for the corporate office, and is currently working on further expanding the company’s office space.

Greg’s vision for the future of Hollis Cobb includes greater revenue growth for the company and the clients. He plans to further increase the use of technology, expand service offerings — particularly on the front end, incorporate more artificial intelligence into workflows and move into software development.
