From the beginning, she served as president and CEO, with the bulk of the responsibility for handling the nitty-gritty of running a business. For starters, she is a very independent woman.

Gallup's independent streak soon led her into entrepreneurship. Although she started as a field archaeologist, Gallup soon found her real interests lay on the business side, so she took over PAST's administration, handling human resources, bookkeeping and the rest of the chores needed to keep a business afloat.
