Erik Linden
Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Twentyfour Industries. LinkedIn lists a 'Dr.' title, suggesting a doctorate, though the field is unconfirmed.
Erik Stefan Linden is co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Twentyfour Industries, a Munich-based startup building mass-manufacturable military drones that raised $11.8M (Lakestar, OTB Ventures, 468 Capital) and emerged from stealth in January 2026. As CCO, Linden has emphasized working directly with field operators so that product iterations reflect real-world needs. LinkedIn lists a 'Dr.' title; a person of the same name served as Managing Director of the Swiss Aerospace Cluster (~2016-2020) and later researched aviation management at the University of St. Gallen, which would plausibly explain the doctorate, but this identity link has not been confirmed by a single directly-verifiable source.
