Dean Gettman is the founder and CEO of Platinum Contracting, a company he started at only 23 years old with no financial backing or experience. Despite the doubts and odds stacked against him, Gettman persevered and within the first four years of operations, he led the company to surpass $10 million in sales and doubled the size of his team. Last year, Platinum Contracting was the only Nevada-based general contractor to make the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing companies—boasting a 269% three-year growth rate—and was granted an Unlimited Bid Company status on behalf of the Nevada State Contractors Board.
Gettman has an entrepreneurial spirit and leads with a steady, confident hand. He oversees the firm’s operations, including business development and project management, and manages both office and field-based team members. He is also the president of Lake Las Vegas Lake Management, LLC and founder of The Gettman Investment Group.
“Growing up in this community and watching its rapid expansion has inspired me my whole life to look for ways to make things better. Nothing is built alone and I could not do it without the great team I have built around me,” Gettman said. With a deep-rooted desire to better the community, Gettman is on a mission to change the landscape of Southern Nevada.
