Corey Galloway

Corey Galloway is the founder and chairman of Legacy Growth Partners, LLC, a private equity firm he established in 2007 that invests across entertainment, manufacturing, and real estate. He brings more than two decades of experience in finance, operations, and marketing. Earlier in his career he spent roughly eight years as a director of operations and finance in MTV's Animation department and about three years as a director of global production at Sesame Workshop (Sesame Street), giving him an unusual blend of media/production operating experience and investment discipline.

Galloway holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics from American International College and an MBA from Pace University, and he completed the Owner/President Management (OPM) program at Harvard Business School. Legacy Growth Partners' real estate work — including the Urban Renaissance development at 3000 N. Broad Street in Philadelphia, where Galloway oversaw land acquisition, negotiations, zoning, and acted as general contractor — was profiled by Harvard Business School, which noted that the firm's last three investments had appreciated roughly 260% in value.

Galloway runs the firm alongside his wife, Tamara Galloway, who serves as president (she previously held executive roles at Time Inc. and Condé Nast and was EVP of GLAAD). Together they have become known for community-focused investment in Brooklyn. In 2016, Legacy Growth Partners was selected as one of just nine developers — alongside partners such as Goldman Sachs — to lead the NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development's New Infill Homeownership Opportunities Program (NIHOP). The couple also made history as the first Black sports-team owners in New York, and Corey serves on the board of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation (HVEDC) as CEO of the New York Streets arena football team.

• Invests as a private equity principal, not a passive minority angel — Legacy Growth Partners provides corporate strategy, business development, and equity capital, often taking an operating/development role (Galloway acted as general contractor on the Philadelphia project).
• Sector concentration: entertainment, manufacturing, and real estate, with a strong tilt toward community/affordable-housing development and sports & recreation.
• Track record orientation: Harvard Business School highlighted the firm's last three investments yielding ~260% value appreciation — Galloway emphasizes tangible value creation and turnaround/development returns.
• Mission-driven angle: the Galloways frame their Brooklyn investments around building generational wealth through homeownership and revitalizing underinvested neighborhoods (East New York, Brownsville).
