A Global Businessman
Gary Wu has emerged a Strategic Leader in numerous industries across the world from China to the US, a true Global Businessman. With a background in the competitive international automotive industry, multifaceted Gary has since emerged as the acclaimed Founder & CEO of TotalMax Homes LLC where he provides the best in full-service luxury accommodation and concierge services.
Individually, Gary recently received the ‘Top 50 Business Leaders of Las Vegas’ and was the recipient of the Global Outstanding Leadership Award (2024). He continues to be the Chairman of Shaanxi U.S.A Corporation SILVER PANDA (Fortune 452 of Fortune 500) and Hangzhou SureAuto. In addition, he’s been honored to have been Keynote Speaker and Guest Professor at leading universities such as Yale, Wharton, and Beijing University.
Gary has been quoted reflecting that, “My experiential learning journey has been defined by the value of stepping outside my comfort zone. I’ve realized that growth occurs when we push ourselves beyond familiar boundaries and embrace new experiences.”
Born in Beijing, China, Gary relocated to the United States with his family while in junior high school. He graduated from Arizona State University, followed by EMBA from Rutgers University, Brunswick, finishing 1st in class.
However, he was determined to return to China as he realized the increasing opportunities in East Asia. In the decade between 1997-2007, Gary fulfilled that ambition, moving up the ranks to become the Volvo China CEO and Asian EVP.
His success in creating brand awareness and increasing brand ranking of Volvo commercial vehicles led him to emerge as an “intellectual and spiritual leader” of China’s commercial vehicle sector and a pioneer pushing reform of China’s logistics industry. During this time, Gary also established the 1st standard second-hand car company, SureAuto, with the Founder of CarMax.
After returning to the United States, Gary turned his attention to his next challenge, Las Vegas, Nevada and established TotalMax Homes LLC in 2011. According to data, Las Vegas is no longer principally a Gambling City. It has transformed and the top Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is now “MICE”, an acronym for ‘Meetings, Incentive Conferences, Exhibitions.’ It has continued to expand and evolve into an international corporate, family and resort destination.
TotalMax Homes provides the best Las Vegas Total Solution Packages for all clients. It introduced a series of exclusive ‘Las Hawaii’ mansions in Las Vegas, and has ‘Super Luxury Beachy Mansions’ in Newport Beach, CA under development. These mansions are a testament to Gary’s vision of combining luxury accommodations with Total Solution in all full-service modules. Additional concierge services include a selection of menus for all meals with standard prices, cleaning, yoga, spa & beauty care, and entertainment modules such as ballet, violin solo modern, air silk show, dealers, bartenders, magic acts, singers, mermaids, DJs, etc. TotalMax Homes provides the ultimate in luxury accommodations and concierge services.
Today, Gary is recognized as a leading pioneer in the Short-Term Rental (STR), Medium-Term Rental (MTR), and Long-Term Rental (LTR) sectors, thanks to his innovative solutions. “We are committed to ensuring that every facet of our clients’ Vegas experiences are high quality and ultra fine. Despite our high luxury and large capacity offers, we strive for and achieve the best experience for our targeted clients with regards to value and cost per person. Our targets have been set high and right, so that we continuously improve, achieve, and attain higher value offers for our clients in the present and the future, through our total solution value chain.”
Gary combines industry knowledge, networking skills, and perseverance to achieve his entrepreneurial goals.
