IACMI Names Jason Gibson as New Chief Commercialization Officer

Announcement, Composites

We are pleased to announce that Jason Gibson, Ph.D., will join IACMI on June 2 as our new Chief Commercialization Officer (CCO). He will succeed Dale Brosius, who is retiring following 10 years as the institute’s founding CCO.

Gibson brings more than 20 years of leadership in composites innovation, technology commercialization, and cross-sector collaboration to this pivotal role. As CCO, he will lead efforts to commercialize advanced composites technologies, guide strategic direction, and coordinate high-impact collaborative projects aligned with IACMI’s mission to advance sustainable U.S. manufacturing. He will also serve as executive director of IACMI’s Consortium Council.

“Jason has a proven track record in the area of applied innovation, industry collaboration, and a commitment to workforce development,” said IACMI CEO Chad Duty. “As a results-driven professional, he is the right leader at the right time to build on the strong foundation Dale has created and to take our commercialization strategy into the next decade.”

Gibson joins IACMI after more than two decades at Composites One, where he most recently served as Chief Applications Engineer. There, he led the development and commercialization of technologies such as aerospace-certified thermoplastic composites, graphene-enhanced resins for hydrogen storage, and next-generation lightweight defense materials. His work consistently bridged research and market readiness, often involving collaborations with OEMs, national laboratories, and academic research institutions.
