Gianforte Appoints Marta Bertoglio as Department of Commerce Director

June 18, 2025

Governor Greg Gianforte announced the appointment of State Representative Marta Bertoglio as the new Director of the Montana Department of Commerce, signaling a continued focus on economic growth and job creation in the state.
“Marta has been a strong partner in the Legislature and is a driven leader, dedicated to making Montana the best place to do business,” Governor Gianforte said in a statement. “With Marta at the helm of the Department of Commerce, I am confident in her ability to recruit businesses that create good-paying jobs, helping more Montanans achieve the American dream. I appreciate her willingness to serve in this new capacity as part of our cabinet.”
Bertoglio, a Republican who has represented House District 75 since her election in 2020, brings a diverse background to the role. A U.S. Air Force veteran and graduate of the Air Force Academy, she has operated a boutique real estate firm based in Helena since 2016, with satellite offices across Montana. Her experience as a small business owner and legislator has centered on fostering economic development and community resilience.
“Having grown up in a small Montana town, I know how important business is to helping build community,” Bertoglio said. “By fostering resilient communities and making sure Montana is the best place to do business, we can create a bright future for our state. I’m grateful to Governor Gianforte for this opportunity to serve the people of Montana as the director of the Department of Commerce.”
A native of Deer Lodge, Bertoglio served in the Air Force alongside her husband, Joe, before returning to Montana in 2007. In addition to her legislative work, she has served as a trustee on the Montana City School Board. Bertoglio and her husband live in Clancy with their two children.
