# Craig Peus

> Craig R. Peus is the CEO of illuno, a Plano, Texas technology company building the first purpose-built staffing marketplace for off-duty law enforcement officers. Backed by Mark Cuban Companies, illuno lets businesses hire certified, on-duty-grade police officers through an app in minutes, while handling compliance, insurance, and payments and giving departments visibility into officer moonlighting. Peus brings a wide-ranging executive resume - a Stanford biology degree, leadership roles in energy midstream (Gravity Midstream), agtech (Tree3), and capital advisory (Blossom Street Capital) - to a sector he argues is two decades behind on technology.
