About Chuck Gallagher
Chuck Gallagher is a sales and marketing business executive, author, and professional speaker from humble beginnings. From being raised by a single parent in "the projects" to leading a $40+ million sales region with 125 sales representatives, Gallagher understands the power of choice and how to create success. As a former Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing in a public company to now serving as C.O.O. for a national private corporate enterprise, Gallagher actively helps employees improve their performance and increase their sales results and skills while realizing the ramifications of their ethical choices. Through his own choices, Chuck learned these lessons the hard way.
At 26, Gallagher became the youngest tax partner in a Southeastern CPA firm and was one of only three CPAs in the country asked to testify before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on a new employee benefits provision of the tax law. He has authored numerous articles for national publications and developed several continuing professional education (CPE) seminars, taught in over 30 states. His teaching was not only informative, but also taught with passion and flair that audiences loved.

With more vulnerability than the average keynoter, Gallagher shares with his audiences his life journey, the consequences of his unethical choices, and how life gives you second chances when you make the right choices. In fact, Gallagher's new book - SECOND CHANCES: Transforming Adversity into Opportunity - has received numerous endorsements and has been described as one of those rare books that effectively bridges the gap between personal accountability and business success.
