Kory Mitchell is a strategic growth expert, proven business builder, and trusted advisor. He has walked the exact path he now helps other Founders navigate. With over 25 years in the specialty contracting industry, Kory has experienced the full entrepreneurial journey—from building a small regional business into a nationally recognized brand to a nine-figure transaction.

Like most business Owners, Kory learned along the way, working very closely with his dad and brother to grow both organically and through small acquisitions.

In 2019 the business merged with another regional leader to form EIS Holdings. They continued the growth journey and ultimately had a very successful financial exit in 2021. Kory transitioned the CEO role in 2024. Today, the business thrives as a $200 million leader in the environmental services space.

Since that time, business Owners have asked Kory for advice on how they might run a similar playbook. Many Founders and Owners struggle with how to take their businesses to the next level through acquisitions, or how to sell their businesses without destroying the legacy of the brand. As a result, Iconic Founders Group was born. Instead of going it alone, business Owners now have someone who thinks and speaks like they do, and someone who can advocate for their best interests.
