Sissy Ambrose Cobden is a lifelong Charlestonian, entrepreneur, and community advocate with deep roots in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Known for her warm leadership style and entrepreneurial spirit, Sissy pairs practical business know-how with a heartfelt commitment to giving back to the community that raised her. As the founder of two successful local businesses, Sissy knows exactly what it takes to build an organization from scratch, manage day-to-day operations, and navigate the unique economic landscape of the Charleston area. Her firsthand experience as a business owner gives her a grounded, realistic perspective on what organizations need to grow, stay resilient, and truly connect with the people they serve. Sissy’s passion for her community is most clear in her philanthropic work. She was a founding member of The Point Is, a grassroots initiative dedicated to uplifting and supporting underserved women across the Lowcountry. Through this work, she helped shape the organization’s vision, secure vital community support, and ensured that resources went directly to making a real, lasting difference in women’s lives. Today, Sissy brings her signature energy and operational skills to running her dressage barn on Johns Island. When she isn’t managing the farm or competing with her two dressage horses, she loves traveling with her husband, Rick. Above all, Sissy is dedicated to her family; she enjoys spending time on the river and beaches with her two children and two grandchildren, who all live nearby on the island. Her deep, multi-generational connection to Charleston drives her ongoing commitment to protecting the character and community spirit of the Lowcountry.
