Eugene L. Gatewood is a leadership coach, organizational strategist, and executive leader who helps pastors, nonprofit executives, and purpose-driven organizations build healthy, aligned, and high-performing teams.
For more than two decades, Eugene has served in senior leadership roles spanning corporate environments, nonprofit administration, governance, and pastoral leadership. His work centers on helping leaders navigate growth, complexity, and transition without losing clarity, culture, or people along the way.
Eugene is known for his ability to see both the system and the people within it. He brings structure where growth has outpaced capacity, alignment where vision has become fragmented, and calm leadership where pressure and complexity threaten momentum.
At the core of his approach is a simple belief:
Identity shapes leadership. Leadership shapes culture. Culture shapes results.
Through Gatewood Coaching & Consulting, Eugene partners with leaders and organizations to strengthen leadership presence, align teams and structures, and build systems that support long-term impact and sustainability.
A Leader Shaped by Faith, Family, and Purpose
Eugene’s leadership is grounded in his faith and shaped by his roles as a husband, father, and servant leader. These foundations inform the integrity, compassion, and relational intentionality he brings to every coaching session and consulting engagement.
He and his wife, LaTanya, also lead together in marriage ministry and content creation, hosting the WE3 The Winning Team Podcast, where they help couples build unity, clarity, and shared purpose.
