Paul joined GrayMatter, first as executive chairman and then as CEO, as part of GrayMatter’s strategic partnership with Tailwind Capital in May 2024.

His vision is to elevate GrayMatter to a new, higher category in the solution provider market — one that offers more implementation capabilities than a typical system integrator along with independent, best-in-class strategic consulting and 24/7 support.

Galeski has been in the industrial technology market for about 40 years.

In 1989, Paul Galeski founded MAGNUM Technologies, a company that quickly gained recognition for its innovation and growth. By 1995, Inc. Magazine named MAGNUM Technologies one of the nation’s fastest-growing companies. Just two years later, in 1997, General Electric acquired MAGNUM Technologies, integrating it as a subsidiary of GE Industrial Systems. Galeski remained at the helm as President until his departure in early 1999.

Later that year, he founded MAVERICK Technologies, immediately making a bold move by acquiring Software Architects, another Inc. 500 company. MAVERICK Technologies expanded its global footprint by forming the Global System Integrators Alliance (GSIA) in partnership with MPE Industrial Automation Europe and MPE Industrial Automation Asia.

This alliance connected over 30 locations and 700 professionals worldwide. By 2011, MAVERICK Technologies employed more than 500 professionals who completed 10,000 projects in 45 countries. Rockwell Automation acquired MAVERICK in 2016.
