CEO, Visionary, Pioneer.
Coming from a family legacy that has been up-and-running for 40 years, Matthew Fleeger of Gulf Western LLC is a man of expertise in the business industry. Venturing in oil and gas reserves, medical waste management, and tanning industries, it’s hardly a surprise when International Who’s of Who named him in their list of Business Professionals.
But despite being born into an expanding family company that his father led, he had his vision.
An alumnus of South Methodist University with a Business Administration degree, he focused on the areas of marketing and finance. He worked along with his father at Gulf Coast Western – the family business founded in the 1970s. Initially active in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, the company’s main goal is to make use of the domestic oil found in the Gulf Coast region in the United States.
In 1993, he founded MedSolutions when he grasped the situation where medical facilities were having a hard time in managing medical wastes. It was a vantage point and an opportunity to hone his skills that led to MedSolutions’ success as the company’s pioneer. Fleeger then sold the company in 2007 to Stericyle Inc., a company leading in medical wastes management. In the same year, he sold his shares totaling to $59 million. Within these periods, he co-founded two highly progressive tanning industries if revenues combined would equally be close to $100 million.
But eventually, he came back to his roots. Fleeger replaced his father as Gulf Coast Western’s President and CEO. Now, the company holdings stretched through Oklahoma, Colorado, Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas. He brought new concepts that structured the company into the modern world. Incorporating researches, the latest technologies, and innovations available in the field.
Under his thumb, the company worked with partners that understood the highs and lows of potential growth in investing. Their growing success was not without Joint Ventures, an investment platform that has a reputation for strategically ensuring growth for investors in the industry.
Even then, industries are not without downsides. Fleeger values optimism and motivation throughout company stakeholders. His vision allowed him to ensure strength with any mishaps in the industry.
