Dale Brosius, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercialization Officer at the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI), announced his retirement, effective July 1, 2025. Brosius has been with IACMI since its inception in 2015 and has played a crucial role in shaping the organization’s vision and forging its global presence. He has led 61 IACMI-led technical innovation projects, engaging over 90 members, and has contributed to increased Technology Readiness Levels in areas such as additive manufacturing, automotive composites, wind energy, and recycling.
Brosius’ leadership has also led to the commercialization of 25 new products and technologies, and he has enhanced composites manufacturing through advanced simulation and quality control processes. He has successfully navigated the institute through challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic and securing funding renewal.
The institute has launched a search for his replacement, the Chief Commercialization Officer (CCO), to drive commercial outcomes from R&D initiatives and grow IACMI’s membership. The new CCO will be a highly experienced leader with a strong track record in commercializing new products and bringing them to market. Brosius will provide part-time support and mentorship after his retirement and is likely to move to a consulting role with IACMI.
