Stuart Derman grew up in New Jersey in a family of traditional careers. At the University of Utah, a single entrepreneurship conference changed his direction. He walked up to the keynote speaker afterward and asked for an internship. He got it.
As a student he co-founded Wasatch Mountain Arts and the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival, which still screens adventure films from more than 50 countries each year. He now serves as chairman of the board.
He set out to learn every part of building a company, starting with marketing. He became director of marketing at The Blogger Network, where he led the rebrand that turned it into the ad tech company Monumetric, and then helped lead marketing at Blue Raven Solar through its growth and acquisition by SunPower.
He then founded RELLO, a demand generation firm for solar, home improvement and B2B technology companies. Today it is a seven-figure business with a full-time team. In 2025 Utah Business named Stuart to its Forty Under 40. He is now building a portfolio of companies.
