Who Is Grant Drive Group?
We’re your neighborhood business trailblazer – every business is like a mountain. It’s exciting to climb but sometimes can be a bit scary when there aren’t any markers on the trail. Let us be your business trail guide – helping to outline all the markers and get you & your team up the mountain.
Grant Drive Group is a business development consulting & advisory firm that specializes in implementing solutions to help small to medium-sized companies thrive. Think of us as “anti-consulting” consulting, if you will. We look to not only point out your problems but be the people who solve them. From tactical fixes to true strategic planning & capital raising, we become a member of your team to understand who you are today & where you want to be so we can determine how you get there.
Grant Drive Group is named after the street where the Gallanty family always gathered for the summer and for our founder’s grandfather, who was the American dream and did everything to take care of those he loved. We were founded with the commitment to solve problems, help businesses scale the right way and really care about our clients & their goals. Hire us as your business trailblazer and let us do the rest – we look forward to meeting you & your team soon!

KATELYN GALLANTY
Katelyn Gallanty, founder & principal of Grant Drive, brings a decade of financial services & business development experience to her latest venture which is dedicated to her grandfather & his legacy.
She always says that people won’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Being able to make an impact & deliver for her clients has always been something which Katelyn prides herself on and she knew she’d be able to truly do that by pivoting out of traditional financial services industry. Prior to founding Grant Drive Group, Katelyn was Citi veteran & Wells Fargo rookie, originally starting her career in back-office risk operations and making the leap into the front office a few years into her journey.
From risk operations to product development in institutional FX Sales to private banking, Katelyn continues to show passionate, clever problem solving to any challenge that is put in her & her team's way. She is exceptional in managing complex launches, driving revenue growth, and inspiring teams through change. Although she jests that she has no idea how she’s got here, her accomplishments to date speak for themselves and demonstrate what hard work, tenacity, a little luck and a bunch of phone calls can do.
She holds her FINRA Series 6, 7, 22, 31, 63, 66, 82 and 99 licenses, with a degree in Business Administration – Marketing from Marist College and is working to secure her Series 79. When she’s not working with her clients, Katelyn spends time with her family & friends, hosting awesome dinner parties, traveling, watching movies, going to museums and can often be found with a glass of wine at Terroir NYC.
