About Matt Galloway

I build, fix, and grow businesses. My approach is straightforward: understand the product, the customer, and the economics of the business, then align people, capital, and execution around what actually creates value.I’ve led performance improvements at global publicly traded corporations, private equity–backed companies, and privately held manufacturers. That range has shaped how I lead: disciplined enough to manage scale, nimble enough to drive change, and hands-on enough to turn plans into results.Currently, I’m the Vice President at Midwest Rubber, with responsibility across sales, operations, and finance and full P&L accountability. I partner directly with ownership and capital partners to strengthen performance. By implementing a simple framework (Stabilize → Streamline → Scale → Repeat), we’ve expanded into new markets, deepened key customer relationships, improved operational efficiency, and built a healthier and more durable growth engine.Earlier, I drove 40%+ growth in a Konecranes territory, developing people who earned promotions while backfilling to keep the momentum. Across large, mid-sized, and small businesses, I’ve built a track record of scaling sales, strengthening teams, and improving operations.What matters to me is results: helping people reach their potential, delivering value, and building repeatable systems that sustain change so every team and company is stronger than when I found them.Interests: USSF C licensed soccer coach, Director of Coaching, and Executive Director at various local soccer clubs.
