Gerritt Vander Linden
VP, Commercial Partnerships & Growth
Gerritt Vander Linden is Vice President of Commercial Partnerships & Growth at 47G Utah Aerospace & Defense. He manages a membership portfolio of more than 200 companies and leads the organization's industry engagement and revenue strategy, working closely with member organizations to strengthen their ties to Utah's aerospace and defense ecosystem and connect them with the resources, relationships, and opportunities they need to grow.
Before joining 47G, he worked in business development at EDCUtah, where he focused on helping Utah companies expand and attract new investment to the state. That work gave him a ground-level perspective on how businesses grow and what they need from the organizations and ecosystems around them — a lens he brings directly to his work at 47G.
Gerritt holds an MBA and dual undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science from the University of Utah. He served a two-year mission in Taiwan and speaks Mandarin Chinese. He lives in the Salt Lake Valley with his wife and two children.
