Carolyn Gala

Owner

Carolyn started in the staffing industry nearly 30 years ago, as an employee with Key Resource Group. Within two years, she was managing the direct hire division and had founded and managed a legal placement division that is still, to this day, WNY’s premier legal staffing service. Within 15 years she became a Partner with KRG, and in 2006 became the sole owner of Key Resource Group.

President

Cheryl’s relationship with Key Resource Group started over 15 years ago, when she met Carolyn Gala, Owner, through their mutual affiliation in a professional organization. Fast forward to 2013, when Cheryl started consulting with KRG, as KRG’s outsourced CFO. Building on the foundation that Cheryl and Carolyn started all those many years ago, Cheryl’s relationship with KRG evolved into what it is today. Cheryl is President of KRG, managing KRG’s day-to-day operations, as well as providing strategic direction to ensure KRG’s continued success.

With an MBA and B.S. in Accounting and Finance from the University at Buffalo (SUNY), Cheryl is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in New York State. Cheryl is Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and the Hamburg Alumni Foundation.

Vice President

As Vice President, Peggy brings over 15 years of experience in recruiting to the KRG team, where she specializes in legal placements. Over the years Peggy has become an expert at understanding the needs of her clients and candidates to make that perfect fit. Her favorite part of the job is helping candidates achieve their career goals, while helping clients find the best talent the WNY area has to offer. As she says, “Truly, when we connect candidates that fit our clients’ needs there is nothing more fulfilling.”

If she wasn’t working as a recruiter, Peggy would most likely own a cupcake bakery (she just can’t get over that annoying 4:00am start time), or produce a reality show about the KRG office. A true iPhone addict, Peggy loves searching online news sites for activities and events in Buffalo to attend with her husband and daughter.
