In 2025, McCorkle unified his ventures under McCorkle Group, a privately held, family-owned conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta. As CEO, he oversees a growing portfolio spanning fashion, film production, television, and the arts—positioning the organization as a cross-industry creative powerhouse.
