Global Fintech Platform iCapital Appoints Gary Gallagher as President
Gary Gallagher has been appointed president of global fintech platform iCapital, charged with helping to lead the company’s go-to-market activities, such as overseeing client relationships, driving investment product distribution, and scaling platform and technology initiatives across the United States.
“I’m honored to join iCapital at this pivotal moment for our industry’s evolution and success,” said Gary Gallagher. “What drew me to this opportunity is iCapital’s strong client-centric culture, which aligns perfectly with my leadership philosophy and passion for driving large-scale commercial organizations.”
He will report to Lawrence Calcano, chairman and chief executive officer of iCapital.
“We’re excited to welcome Gary Gallagher to iCapital – an incredibly experienced industry executive I greatly respect for his ability to deliver meaningful results for clients and partners, as well as his commitment to fostering a culture of client centricity and teamwork,” said Calcano. “Culture is a critical component of our success, and Gary understands that and is excited to be a part of it.”
Gallagher has over three decades of experience in building and scaling financial advisory businesses, including approximately 27 years with Fidelity Investments. He served on the executive team at Fidelity Institutional, most recently as head of strategic business development, where he forged partnerships with private equity firms, wealth tech providers, asset managers, and industry influencers to drive revenue growth. Gallagher oversaw investment platforms and advisory solutions spanning managed accounts, alternative investments, digital assets, portfolio engineering, and research.
Previously, he was president of Fidelity Institutional Wealth Advisor, enabling advisory capabilities for intermediary clients, and held senior leadership roles in product, platform, and business development at LPL Financial from 2007 to 2011, Citibank in the ’90s, and KPMG.
“Gary’s deep expertise in addressing customer needs, combined with his track record of excellence in execution and delivery, will ensure our clients realize the full value of our platform and product offerings,” added Calcano.
Gallagher earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
“I look forward to collaborating with this forward-thinking team, and together we will expand and deepen client relationships, elevate the go-to-market strategy, and accelerate investment product distribution – all with the goal of driving outstanding outcomes for clients,” concluded Gallagher.
Last December, AltsWire reported that iCapital had joined BNY, Nasdaq, and S&P Global in a $50 million strategic investment in Digital Asset, the creator of the Canton Network and a leader in privacy-enabled blockchain technology for global financial markets.
In 2025, iCapital grew its total global workforce by 31% to more than 2,200 people worldwide and expanded its global footprint with new offices in Sydney, Abu Dhabi, and Miami. The company offers a diverse range of non-traditional investment products on iCapital Marketplace, Enterprise Solutions, and both Technology and Data Services.
