Cory builds relationships with donors so the CIE can keep its programs running (We are a nonprofit, after all.). If you know anyone who wants to work with the CIE, he’s your guy.
Cory grew up working in a small family business. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Psychology he served as Executive Director of two high profile non-profit organizations, leading both through significant growth. In 2014 he joined Subplot Studio, a startup serving the global theater industry. As head of Partnerships, he was responsible for securing the company’s first major strategic partnership. In 2015 Cory joined the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship as Director of Development.
Cory also shreds on the guitar and, given his wife and two teenage daughters, he is utterly surrounded by women both in and out of the HotHouse.
