Dennis Hackemeyer

Ask the company co-founder about his vision for Nanotouch, and his answer is far from understated: Bring change to the world. The former Marine, whose background combines advanced print technologies and Marine Corps training in nuclear-biological-chemical, sees Nanotouch as having a global impact, helping redefine how we think of clean and enhancing the safety of public spaces in the most environmentally conscious and ESG- compliant ways possible. Dennis helped to oversee the launch of Nanotouch through the research, antimicrobial lab testing, product development, and fabrication processes and today leads the company’s business development and partnership initiatives.

He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute where he received his BA in Economics. He also received training at the U.S. Army Airborne School, the U.S. Navy Scuba School, the U.S. Army Tank School, and the USMC Mountain Warfare School, where he learned to Adapt-Improvise-Overcome. Try going from a business suit, starched shirt, and tie – with three preschoolers at home – back to camouflage utilities four days after being re-activated for Operation Desert Storm. It’s that dedication to the mission that makes Dennis such a successful entrepreneur.
