Cory@coryrogers.org
Operations Executive and Professor of Business
"Entrepreneurial, innovative, and effective operations leadership your organization can rely on."
Educated, Experienced, and Making a Difference
Snapshot
Cory is an award-winning entrepreneurial operations executive and professor who leads development and reliability support for $2.3B in revenue activities for Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Technology organizations. To create effective, sustainable and resilient businesses, he leverages innovative applied engineering concepts with the formidable skills of a big firm financial analyst, an economist's predictive worldview, conscientious environmental stewardship, and the practical, no-nonsense know-how of his entrepreneurial background.
As the 2020/2021 recipient of the prestigious Dean's Merit Scholarship at Johns Hopkins University Carey School of Business, Cory earned the acclaim from the Global Top 10 graduate school. In 2021, he formulated a linear programming model to predict COVID-19's risk to construction operations 30/60/90/120 days in advance and then crafted a response/ resiliency plan to stay ahead of competitors. The model's accuracy proved groundbreaking, and he is perfecting the resiliency model as a Doctoral candidate at Southern Connecticut State University.
Cory continues to help companies realize greater financial success through venture financing while reaching their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Sustainability initiatives.
From his blue-collar, inner-city roots to visionary executive, Cory repeatedly defies the odds of achieving success. He was one of the youngest in his state and among the first African Americans to earn master-level licenses as an Unlimited Electrical Contractor and Electrical Building Official. As he says, "When other people say 'it can't be done' and quit, I'm just getting started."
Additionally, he has helped organizational leaders understand how to "level the playing field" for other underrepresented but highly qualified executive candidates who would otherwise feel overlooked or boxed out.
When he is not in the office, Cory applies his knowledge as an adjunct professor at Central Connecticut State University, bringing in the next generation of business leaders.
