IREGC NAMES KENNETH LOWER AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

 Investment Real Estate Group of Companies (IREGC) has named Kenneth Lower as its chief financial officer. Bringing with him over 20 years of experience in financial leadership and private equity, Lower is well-equipped to help drive IREGC’s ambitious growth strategy.
 
Known for his collaborative leadership and proven ability to scale complex financial operations, Lower will oversee financial planning, mergers and acquisitions, and compliance. Previously at UMB Financial, he launched the company’s Philadelphia office with a team of 18 professionals and expanded it to 85, significantly increasing operational capacity and revenue performance.
 
“Ken brings deep expertise in real estate finance and capital markets, along with a practical understanding of how to build financial infrastructure that supports long-term growth,” said Chris Riley, president of IREGC. “His knowledge of both debt and equity strategies will be instrumental in fueling the capital needed to grow our portfolio in a sustainable, strategic way.”
 
Lower’s experience in fund administration — overseeing private equity and real estate funds, financial reporting, investor servicing, and regulatory compliance — directly aligns with IREGC’s focus on real estate investment, particularly in the self storage sector. His strong background in compliance and internal controls helps ensure transparency, maintain the integrity of financial operations, and mitigate risk in a capital-intensive industry. He also brings valuable experience cultivating relationships with C-level executives and stakeholders, an essential skill as he works to align IREGC’s financial goals with its overall business objectives.
 
“I am excited to join IREGC and aid in its purposeful growth,” said Lower. “The company’s commitment to innovation and performance aligns with my own values, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success.”
