Cory has held several positions with the Power Corporation with increasing authority and responsibility including the positions of Manager, Treasury and New Business Development, and Manager, Treasury and Enterprise Risk.

In 2006, Cory obtained a Chartered Financial Analyst designation from the CFA Institute.
In 2016, Cory was promoted to the position of Manager, Budgeting and Regulatory Affairs where he was responsible for the development of the Corporation’s annual operations and maintenance budget including revenue forecasting and managing long-term corporate planning, cash flow forecasts and long-term debt management. In this position Cory was the corporate authority for the Corporation’s utility rate applications and represented the Corporation as corporate witness at Public Utility Board hearings. Cory was once again promoted in 2020 to oversee the Corporation’s Finance Division as Chief Financial Officer and in 2021was appointed as President and CEO.
