About Kurt Sorensen
Kurt is Corporate Credit Manager for H&E Equipment Services in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Kurt joined H&E in 2000 and manages all aspects of credit, collections, A/R and cash application. Kurt takes pride in his ability to work across multiple departments to achieve consensus and process improvement and the fact that his department maintains the reputation as one of the more reliable and responsive departments at H&E.
Kurt has testified for Louisiana and Mississippi State Legislative Committees to address potential changes to state lien law and in 2012 led successful lobbying efforts to place lessors of movables on equal footing with other material suppliers under the Mississippi Stop Notice Statute. In 2013 and 2014, Kurt was a major principal behind the effort to address a 2013 Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision which ruled the entire Mississippi Stop Notice Statute unconstitutional. The result was the 2014 Revised Mississippi Lien Law, which for the first time, affords lien rights to downstream participants on a construction project.
As a holder of the CCE designation, Kurt has mentored many H&E credit team members in their pursuit of NACM professional designations. Kurt was honored to receive the NACM CCE Designation of Excellence Award in 2015 and the NACM Credit Executive of Distinction Award in 2019. Prior to joining H&E, Kurt was the Credit Manager for Deep South Equipment Company. Kurt earned a B.S. from Brigham Young University.
