The Galaxy Exec is a group of principal investigators from around the world, that is responsible for coordinating the direction of the Galaxy Project, a mature, successful research software infrastructure project, with a large and diverse global audience.

The Galaxy Exec was formed at the Galaxy Directions Summit in 2019, which gathered together ~20 PIs from around the world. Initially, all Exec members run large grants that have Galaxy as a core part of their aims.
