Teresa Gallo is founding Principal of Fassade, LLC, a marketing & business development firm with specialty expertise directed to the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Development (AEC&D) communities. Prior to founding Fassade, LLC, Teresa had devoted her entire employment experience to these professions. After completing studies in Fashion Merchandising and Design at the Art Institute, she decided to focus on her roots. Having grown up in an architectural family whose entire community consisted of Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Building Contractors and Developers, she decided to use the education in marketing acquired in her fashion studies and apply it to assisting the AEC&D professions. For the next ten years her employment consisted of working for JWR Construction Services, Inc. and Gallo Herbert Architects. With these two employers she honed her skills in proposal writing, public relations, web site management, social media management and the organization and management of media and data files as relates to business development. The art of proposal writing and responding to RFP/RFQ/RLI is a small science unto itself. The ability to convey vast amounts of information in a pleasing and enticing format in order to set a proposer above the field of others is an expertise that Teresa has perfected and applied to her newly formed company Fassade, LLC.
As a marketing and business development consultant and professional, Teresa learned early that community and professional involvement are an integral key to networking for clients and for her own business. To date she has achieved incredible success in professional networking. During her employment years she achieved community and professional recognition via the following:
