At the heart of his philosophy is a conviction that true success begins with purpose. For Siela, faith has always been more than a private belief; it is a guiding principle that informs how he leads, how he serves, and how he builds. His company, GMWS, is built on the same foundation.
The firm’s mission is to empower home builders, real estate developers, and home service companies to achieve growth that is both financially sound and socially responsible. Siela’s approach integrates strategy with compassion, demonstrating that profitability and purpose can coexist without compromise.
For years, GMWS has operated on a simple but profound idea: every great business must serve something greater than itself. This belief is reflected in every partnership the firm undertakes. Whether GMWS is advising a real estate developer on market expansion or helping a home services company navigate operational restructuring, the firm’s emphasis is always on building integrity-driven organizations that leave a positive mark on the communities they touch.
Siela’s leadership model is deeply personal, shaped by experiences that extend far beyond the boardroom. Since moving to Austin, Texas in 2009, he has been an active advocate for inclusion and community empowerment. His involvement with the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas stands as one of the clearest reflections of his heart for service. As a father of a son with Down syndrome, Anthony’s journey into advocacy began at home. What started as a parent’s effort to ensure his child had every opportunity to thrive has evolved into a broader mission to promote inclusion and raise awareness across his community.
His son, a proud player for the Westlake High School football team, continues to inspire both his family and everyone around him. For Anthony Siela, watching his son defy expectations has been one of life’s most profound lessons. It has taught him that leadership requires faith, patience, and an unwavering belief in potential. Those lessons have directly influenced his business philosophy, shaping how he leads teams, supports clients, and views success. “Every person has untapped strength,” he often says. “It’s our job as leaders to see it, nurture it, and help it grow.”
That philosophy extends to the way he raises his family. His two daughters, both accomplished ballerinas, are living testaments to discipline, focus, and grace. His eldest, now a freshman at the University of Oklahoma, continues to pursue her love for dance at the collegiate level, while his younger daughter remains dedicated to her own training. Their passion for their craft serves, as a daily reminder to Anthony of the value of perseverance and faith in oneself. He often draws parallels between the world of dance and the world of business, both require precision, creativity, resilience, and a belief that mastery is achieved through continuous effort.
Family, for Siela, is not a separate sphere from his professional life; it is the cornerstone of it. The same values that guide his parenting, commitment, empathy, and humility, also define his leadership style. His experiences at places like Camp Mystic and Camp CAMP, both of which provide inclusive and enriching environments for families and children with special needs, have further deepened his appreciation for community. These programs represent the kind of connectedness and compassion that he strives to emulate in every aspect of his life and work.
Faith, too, plays a defining role in Siela’s outlook. He sees business not as a pursuit of self- interest but as a calling, a platform for service and stewardship. His faith informs how he approaches challenges and opportunities alike, reminding him that leadership is not about control but about trust and responsibility. In an industry that can often be driven by competition and ego, Siela’s humility stands out. He credits his success not to individual brilliance but to divine guidance and the people who have walked alongside him, his colleagues, clients, mentors, and above all, his family.
Through GMWS, Siela is redefining what entrepreneurship can look like in the modern world. His consulting model doesn’t just emphasize growth but sustainable, ethical growth that benefits all stakeholders. By blending strategic acumen with human insight, he has built a firm that embodies the principles of service-based leadership. His team is trained to look beyond profit margins, to ask deeper questions about the long-term health of a company, its people, and its impact on the community.
This balanced approach has made GMWS a trusted partner for organizations navigating complex transitions. Clients turn to Siela and his team not only for business expertise but for guidance rooted in integrity and empathy. As a seasoned real estate development and homebuilding senior executive he reminds them that business challenges are not just operational, they are human. Companies, like people, thrive when they are grounded in values and driven by purpose.
Looking ahead, Siela’s vision is to expand GMWS’s reach into new markets while maintaining its commitment to ethical leadership. He believes that as industries evolve, so too must the definition of success. “The next generation of entrepreneurs must understand that impact matters as much as income,” he says. “If we want to build something that lasts, we have to start by building with meaning.”
In a time when many leaders are chasing short-term wins, Siela’s long-term perspective offers a refreshing counterpoint. He speaks often about legacy, not as something achieved at the end of a career, but as something built daily through small, intentional acts of leadership and kindness.
His story reminds us that business can be both profitable and principled, that faith and finance can align, and that leadership begins not in the boardroom but in the heart.
Anthony Siela’s journey is a testament to the idea that success is not defined by what we accumulate but by what we contribute. Through his faith, his family, and his work with GMWS, he is proving that true leadership is about service, stewardship, and the courage to build beyond business. His life is an ongoing example of what can happen when purpose and professionalism meet, when we choose to lead not just for gain, but for good.
