About Jonathan Geerts

A motivated engineer and problem solver dedicated to helping humanity reach beyond Lower Earth Orbit, with a background in flight test, graduate level fundamental research, and Government program office work. Capable of solving complex problems on schedule with limited information & resources both as an individual and as a member or leader of interdisciplinary teams. Extensive experience with real time operations of systems that have high consequences in the event of failure, and able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment. I am able to effectively lead and communicate with team members from a wide range of backgrounds, with experience working in fast paced, proactive environments requiring creative ability to design processes and procedures from scratch. My work has been multidisciplinary, covering orbital launch operations, bomber and UAV flight test, hypersonic flight test, anomaly investigation, source selections, mission assurance, government acquisition strategies, Large Force Exercise planning, project management, and team leadership. Learning valuable life lessons through the wonderful world of endurance challenges: 2021 Bayshore 10 Mile swim, 2020 Sean O'Brien 100Km trail run, 2019 Old Cascadia 50 miler trail run, 2018 Santa Rosa Ironman, 2017 Bayshore Half Ironman.
