Anthony Gallegos
VERSATILE EXECUTIVE OPERATIONS LEADER
Hi, I’m Anthony Gallegos! I'm a dynamic leader with 10+ years of experience in scaling operations and driving growth in tech, private equity, and B2B marketplaces. I’ve launched ventures like Lumber Marketplace (225+ businesses in 6 months) and led a ~$1 million e-commerce exit. Relocated to Houston in 2025 to be closer to family. Outside of work, I’m a husband, dad, outdoorsman, and ultramarathon runner.
Houston, TX
ABOUT ME
Everything in my life is built on the foundation of my faith and family. My wife, Elissa, and I have been married for four incredible years and welcomed our son, Titus, into our lives through the blessing of adoption in November 2024. This experience has redefined my purpose. We relocated to Houston in 2025 to be near our family and roots.
Professionally, I’m an operations and strategy leader who turns challenges into wins. I’ve scaled a B2B online marketplace to 225+ businesses in less than 6 months, driven a ~$1 million e-commerce exit at a 2.5x multiple, and boosted NOI 3.6% annually across $252M in real estate assets. I thrive on building high-performing teams and aligning execution with vision. Passionate about creating value in tech, VC/PE, and real estate PE.
Outside of work, I’m a competitive athlete who thrives on pushing my limits. Whether completing an ultramarathon through the desert mountains of West Texas, a triathlon in freezing temperatures, or countless marathon races, these challenges have taught me grit, discipline, and perseverance, qualities that shape how I lead and approach life. I also enjoy serving my church, reading, spending time with my family, and cheering on the University of Houston during football and basketball season. I also love to travel with my family. We try to make it to the mountains at least once a year for hiking and exploring (and sometimes I'll sneak in a snowboarding trip in the winter), and my wife and I also escape to Mexico every spring for a beach trip to celebrate our anniversary.
