Article Summary:
Following his early departure from Congress, former U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher has joined TitletownTech as a senior strategic adviser. TitletownTech, a venture capital firm launched by the Green Bay Packers and Microsoft, focuses on investments in areas such as manufacturing, digital health, and agriculture. Gallagher’s experience in national security and technology policy is seen as a valuable addition to the firm by managing partner Craig Dickman.
Gallagher’s move to TitletownTech comes after he announced he would not seek reelection in November and would leave office early. His goal at TitletownTech is to contribute to the transformation of Wisconsin into a hub of technological innovation, emphasizing the importance of advancing America’s economic competitiveness and technological leadership.
Gallagher’s decision to retire from Congress has left Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District open, with three Republicans currently competing in a primary for the seat. Despite initial rumors linking Gallagher to Palantir, he dismissed them as “propaganda” and has stated that his post-Congress work will align with his national security goals and focus on defense policy.
At 40 years old and a native of Green Bay, Gallagher’s expertise in technology, security, and global markets are expected to benefit TitletownTech and the startups it invests in. President Joe Biden, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, and Microsoft President Brad Smith recently visited Racine County to highlight Microsoft’s development of a $3.3 billion data center, indicating the growing importance of technology in Wisconsin and beyond.
