We Are Cognits
Cognits was founded by the visionary Ibarguen siblings in 2013. Cristobal, Sebastian, and Sophia hail from a lineage spanning five generations in Guatemala. Recognizing the untapped potential within their country, they were determined to unlock a brighter future for future generations. They wanted to empower the Guatemalan youth through technical education, and create a place that would foster growth and innovation.
What started as a training camp quickly evolved into a growing group of skilled teams specializing in UX/UI, development, devops, scrum, QA and more.

In 2021, Trevor Kale, joined the company as CEO after experiencing Cognits’ performance first-hand as a trusted vendor. As the head of the organization, his goal has been to raise the bar even higher, propelling Cognits to become a distinguished provider of high-end professional services that align with
the caliber demanded by companies in the United States – but at a fraction
of the cost.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, and with an office in the heart of Guatemala City, Cognits proudly employs over 75 talented professionals, not solely within Guatemala but throughout Latin America. We have maintained a strong focus on education, with a continued priority on training our staff in Agile, conscientious practices, and additional certifications.
