ABOUT BRIAN GALLAGHER

Leadership is the cornerstone on which I have built my successful career in Marketing, PR and Corporate Communications. My early years in the Marine Corps built character, integrity and an international perspective which fostered my strong work ethic and desire to make a difference. This optimistic view, combined with creativity, adaptability and a sense of humor, have enabled me to be consistently successful in my career and personal life. As a Communications Executive for global multimillion dollar organizations, I\'ve provided key leadership building and managing best-in-class marketing, PR and corporate communications functions both externally and internally. I\'ve got a keen ability to \"think on my feet,\" identify and prioritize complex issues and leverage emotional intelligence to deliver appropriate communication calmly under stress. I\'m adept at applying traditional and non-traditional channels, such as multimedia and social media, to create the most favorable perception of domestic and international initiatives related to acquisitions, strategic partnerships, technology introductions and business model transformation. Using strong relationship acumen and relentless follow through, I\'ve cultivated influential relationships with key media contacts within trade publications and the media.My accomplishments include rebuilding and revitalizing corporate communications and marketing functions; implementing initiatives that leveraged existing resources and cut costs; providing crisis management communications; and creating global brand awareness to drive expansion in fast-growing technology organizations.
