Previously, between 2012 and 2014, Glover was a Partner at Grant Thornton, where he led the firm’s West Region Business Advisory Services. Between 2009 and 2011 Glover worked as a Partner at Armanino McKenna, where his primary responsibilities included business development and client service for business risk services.

Earlier roles include Controller and Chief Accounting Officer at Santa Clara Construction and Development, for six years from 1990, a short stint as the Assistant Controller at AVCO Financial Services, and an earlier spell with EY, where he began his career in 1987.

In addition, Glover attended the Harvard Business School’s Strategic Leadership Program, and the Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management’s Executive Leadership Program. He is also a member of the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and The Institute of Internal Auditors.

Protiviti’s announcement sees Glover join the firm’s San Francisco Bay Area office as a Managing Director in its Internal Audit and Financial Advisory practice. The new role will leverage Glover’s 28 years of professional business experience, in areas including risk advisory and internal audit, to help the firm’s clients in technology and life sciences industries assess, get to grips and mitigate key risks to effectively further their business ends.
