Guest Bio
Luke Hansen is the CEO of CompanyCam, a company he built purely as a mechanism for self-mockery—or so his team claims. Luke began his journey in the family roofing business, where the itch for a practical solution to document job sites led him to create CompanyCam. He traded his toolkit for a tech stack and sculpted the first version of the product. With roots firmly planted in Nebraska and a mustache that's nearly as iconic as his software, Luke defies the SaaS CEO archetype.
