Kory Glen

As chief financial officer, Kory has proven himself a steady leader in both times of growth and periods of market pressure. Nearly three decades of experience in financial leadership have given him a 360-degree view of the marketplace and the expertise to prepare AIT for any challenge. During his tenure, the company has grown dramatically––in revenue, teammates, shipment count and more––and Kory credits it to AIT’s strong teamwork. 

A certified public accountant who is instrumental to AIT’s strategic initiatives, Kory is enthusiastic about mentoring his colleagues on the intricacies of finance, and he works closely with AIT’s directors, executive teams and cross-functional partners to plan and deliver results. 
 

"At AIT, we pride ourselves on creating, refining and reporting objective financial and operational metrics that drive improved profitability."

Kory earned his bachelor’s in accounting from Northern Illinois University and began his career at Ernst & Young. Next, he worked in financial reporting and technical accounting roles at an S&P 500 residential real estate investment trust. Kory then served as CFO for a publicly traded construction equipment rental business, before beginning his tenure with AIT as the company’s CFO in 2017. He was recognized by Financial Executives International (FEI) Chicago in 2022 with the CFO of the Year award.

A big believer in giving back, Kory contributes to various organizations such as the American Cancer Society and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as well as programs supporting his local community. 

He lives in Chicago with his wife and two children.
