I'm Blake Luken.
A Founder & Sales Leader
based in Austin.
10+ years driving sales, scaling teams, and growing revenue.
Turning ideas into reality.
I have always been passionate about technology and how it can improve the way we live, work, and connect with each other.
My degree in Informatics gave me a foundation in how technology and business connect. I started my career at Lippert Components in business applications, using tech to drive efficiencies across engineering and operations. It was great work, but I wanted to get out from behind the computer and into more people-facing roles. So I made the jump to sales at Xerox, selling office equipment and IT services. That is where I learned to sell the full cycle, from cold outbound to close.
From there I joined Snic Solutions as the first North American hire. When Snic had the opportunity to open an office here, I was tasked with our go-to-market and building our customer base. After early success we scaled to offer more products and I led a transition from a perpetual business model with heavy services to a XaaS business, transforming how we sold and delivered value to our customers. I grew into VP of Global Sales as we scaled to $6M+ ARR and earned Siemens Channel Partner of the Year along the way.
My real passion has always been entrepreneurship. GoodSky is where that comes together, taking years of community involvement and turning it into a product that actually connects corporate and nonprofit organizations. I am always happy to connect and share what I have learned.
