Listen "From Combat to Cabinet — How Nevada’s CIO, Tim Galluzi, is Leading with Purpose"
Episode Synopsis
Nevada Chief Information Officer and Marine Corps veteran Tim Galluzi joins us to talk about his journey from combat tours to the cabinet table—and how a WGU MBA in IT Management helped him turn technology into a force for public good. He shares what it took to elevate IT to a cabinet-level department in Nevada, why that move matters for cybersecurity and collaboration, and how he’s building a culture where innovation actually sticks.Tim also opens up about returning to school later in life, tackling imposter syndrome, and learning to break big modernization projects into small, winnable steps. His story is a reminder that growth doesn’t have to follow a straight line—and that confidence, humility, and the right team can take you farther than you think.
