The Glass Guru, a provider of glass restoration, repair and replacement services, has announced the opening of The Glass Guru of Durham, in North Carolina. The new franchise is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Jeff Cottle.
Originally from Lima, Peru, Cottle earned his degree in industrial engineering from the University of Lima before completing his M.B.A. at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 2017.
Throughout his career, Cottle has held a variety of management positions, most recently serving as a product manager for BASF’s Urban Pest Control division.
After building a corporate career, Cottle began looking for an opportunity to apply his business experience to entrepreneurship and create something of his own, Glass Guru officials said.
“The Glass Guru offered the opportunity to combine my passion for business with the ability to serve the local community,” Cottle said. “I’m excited to build a team that is known for honest guidance, quality workmanship and an exceptional customer experience.”
The Glass Guru of Durham will provide glass restoration, repair and replacement services to homeowners and businesses throughout Durham and the surrounding area. Cottle said he plans to differentiate the business through clear communication, attention to detail and recommendations customers can trust.
Outside of work, he enjoys exploring local parks, visiting museums, traveling and spending time outdoors with his family. He is also an exercise and mountain-biking enthusiast.
