Our History

Dennis Cooper Chairman
Dennis Cooper and Paul Cooper

In 2005, a vision took shape that would not only change the landscape of the transportation industry but also lay the groundwork for a family legacy. Dennis Cooper, a seasoned entrepreneur with a successful track record, founded Cooper Global Chauffeured Transportation in Atlanta, Georgia. Today, as the company enters its 20th anniversary, it stands as a testament to Dennis’ foresight, dedication, and the values that he instilled in the organization. 

Dennis Cooper’s journey began far from the wheels of a chauffeur service. As the chairman of RTM, the world’s largest Arby’s franchise holder, he oversaw over 1,000 restaurants.

It was during these formative years that Dennis learned the paramount importance of customer service. With 40 years of experience in managing, operating, and acquiring businesses under his belt, he ventured into a new realm, driven by the desire to create a service-oriented enterprise that prioritizes quality and reliability.

Starting with just eight vehicles, Dennis’s vision quickly gained momentum. Under his leadership, Cooper Global has evolved into the largest chauffeured transportation provider in Georgia and one of the leading firms in the Southeastern United States. The company now boasts a vast fleet and a global partner network that spans over 650 destinations across six continents.

From its inception, Cooper Global has not only focused on business growth but also on making a positive impact within the community. Dennis has actively participated in several chambers of commerce and has generously supported numerous charitable organizations, including Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Atlanta, Bert’s Big Adventure, The Atlanta Ballet, The Shepherd Center, and Kennesaw State University. This commitment to giving back has woven Cooper Global into the very fabric of Atlanta, illustrating the company’s dedication to being more than just a transportation service.

Paul Cooper, Dennis’s son, adds another layer to the family legacy. After graduating from Georgia State University in 1991, Paul began his career as a Territory Sales Manager with Coca-Cola USA, where he honed his understanding of customer service while selling Coca-Cola products through the Integrated Business System. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to leave the corporate world and establish Marketing Event Partners (MVP). Through MVP, he focused on raising funds for non-profit organizations, leveraging the popularity of golf for charitable events. Notably, he managed the successful “Arby’s Charity Tour” from 1996 to 2005, raising over $30 million for children in need. Known for his conscientious nature and commitment to employee welfare, he continues the family’s generational legacy of charitable work.

As Cooper Global celebrates its success, it also honors the familial ties that have helped shape its identity. Paul’s involvement in the company symbolizes the continuation of a family legacy built on hard work, integrity, and community engagement. Together, they represent a dynamic duo committed to excellence, fostering a culture that prioritizes not just service but also the well-being of employees and clients alike.

Looking ahead, Cooper Global Chauffeured Transportation continues to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of its clients. By embracing the latest industry software and expanding its fleet to include activity buses, the company remains responsive to local schools and camps, ensuring that community needs are met. As they enter their 20th year, the company reflects on its journey with pride, fueled by the loyalty of their clients and the dedication of their exceptional staff—the true “Best in Business.”

Dennis Cooper often credits the success of Cooper Global to its wonderful clients and global partners. This collaborative spirit, combined with a strong family foundation, positions Cooper Global for continued growth and success in the years to come.

As they celebrate Dennis Cooper’s visionary leadership and the enduring legacy he shares with his son Paul, Georgia looks forward to witnessing the continued impact of Cooper Global on both the transportation industry and the communities it serves. Here’s to many more years of excellence, innovation, and service!
