"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Tom Gallaway grew up in Nebraska’s windswept Sand Hills, on a cattle ranch outside Bassett.

But like many young people in the Cornhusker State, he moved away for the bright lights — and opportunities — of the big city.

He now lives among the palm trees of Orange County, Calif. He and his wife, Lezlie, operate businesses in 13 states. One, Technologent, helps Fortune 1000 companies maximize technology. The other, Your Selling Team, is a call center business.

But even from his West Coast base, he’s still working for his home state.

Gallaway is among a handful of CEOs with Nebraska ties who, for little or no pay, are helping lure good-paying, high-tech jobs here.
