Cindy Cooper
For more than 35 years, I've worked alongside business leaders, helping organizations grow, solve complex challenges, and make strategic decisions that strengthen their businesses.
Today, as Founder & CEO of STKS Partners, my passion is helping employers rethink the way they approach employee benefits.
Too often, companies believe they have only two options—accept rising healthcare costs or reduce benefits. I believe there's a better way.
At STKS Partners, we help employers uncover innovative supplemental benefit strategies that complement—not replace—their existing health plans. Our focus is on helping businesses create greater value for their employees while improving financial efficiency and strengthening their overall benefits strategy.
We aren't a traditional insurance agency focused on selling policies.
We're a strategic partner that works with employers to identify opportunities many organizations simply haven't been shown.
Depending on the needs of the business, that may include:
• Innovative supplemental employee benefits
• Employee engagement and retention strategies
• Payroll tax optimization opportunities
• Voluntary benefit solutions
• Executive and workforce benefit planning
• Cost-containment strategies
• Benefits consulting for growing organizations
Every recommendation begins the same way—with a conversation.
I believe the best solutions come from understanding your business, your employees, and your long-term goals before recommending a path forward.
If you're a business owner, CEO, CFO, HR leader, or benefits decision-maker looking for fresh ideas to strengthen your employee benefits strategy, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
Let's have a conversation about what's possible.
Jared Goddard
As Director of Client Engagement at STKS Partners, I serve as a trusted advisor and primary resource for employers looking to strengthen their employee benefits strategy through innovative supplemental solutions.
My role is to build relationships with business owners, executives, and HR leaders, understand the unique needs of their organization, and help identify opportunities that complement their existing healthcare plans. Rather than leading with products, I focus on listening first, learning about each business, and connecting clients with solutions that support both their employees and their long-term business objectives.
Before joining STKS Partners, I spent more than 25 years in senior leadership within the mortgage banking industry. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the challenges business leaders face and the importance of building trusted relationships based on integrity, communication, and results.
Today, I'm proud to help employers navigate today's evolving employee benefits landscape by introducing innovative supplemental benefit strategies that enhance traditional healthcare plans and create meaningful value for both employers and employees.
I believe the best partnerships begin with a conversation, and I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

As Director of Client Success & Operations at STKS Partners, I serve as the bridge between our clients and our team, ensuring every employer receives the support, communication, and guidance needed to successfully implement and maximize their employee benefits strategy.
My focus is on creating a seamless client experience—from onboarding and implementation to ongoing support and operational excellence. I work closely with employers, brokers, and our internal team to make sure every step of the process is efficient, organized, and focused on delivering long-term value.
At STKS Partners, we believe our relationship with a client truly begins after implementation. That's why I'm committed to providing responsive service, clear communication, and proactive support as our clients' needs evolve.
I take pride in building trusted relationships and helping employers navigate today's changing employee benefits landscape with confidence. Whether coordinating implementation, supporting client questions, or ensuring every detail is handled with care, my goal is simple: deliver an outstanding client experience every step of the way.
