"I am excited to join TitletownTech and contribute to its mission of transforming Wisconsin into a hub of technological innovation," said Gallagher. "Wisconsin is on the front lines of geopolitical competition in the 21st century and has a critical role to play in enhancing America’s economic competitiveness in general and technological leadership in particular. I look forward to working with the TitletownTech team to drive Wisconsin’s growth by making it the best destination for top-level tech-talent and thereby advance America’s national security interests."
