GalaxE.Solutions CEO Tim Bryan became something of a star earlier this month at the Detroit Regional Chamber’s annual Mackinac Policy Conference, where he rarely passed up an opportunity tout the benefits of doing business in Detroit as he explained the New Jersey-based IT company’s decision to open an office in the former First Federal of Michigan building at Campus Martius.
GalaxE Solutions Inc., an information technology company that is moving its headquarters to Detroit, is now hiring, according to a story on WWJ. “We’ll be working with the state and local government with regard to job fairs and other training programs and folks should have a real easy time applying,” CEO Tim Bryan said.
He should know: He’s making Detroit an integral piece of his 20-year-old company’s expansion plans, bringing 500 tech jobs to renovated offices in the 1001 Woodward building at Campus Martius. “You get business to locate here and you bring downtown back into play.”
“The cost basis in Detroit, for resources, for infrastructure, for real estate, is much closer now to many of the offshore locations,” Bryan told WWJ last month. “And many of our client contracts call for work to be performed onshore. So this move helps us deliver increased client value while also helping to rebuild the city.”
Michigan is close to finally realizing that we won’t be saved by Big Companies or Big Labor or even Big Government. It won’t be quick or easy, but salvation lies in growing, attracting and nurturing a lot more companies and entrepreneurs like Bryan.
So many new software and technology employees are moving in soon near Campus Martius Park that Quicken Loans boss Dan Gilbert suggested a new name for Woodward Avenue – Webward.
