Welcoming Erik Hansen, Co-Founder & CEO of VolitionRF, to the BEN Signature Program
BEN Colorado is proud to welcome Erik Hansen, Co-Founder and CEO of VolitionRF, to the BEN Signature Program.
A U.S. Army veteran and seasoned executive, Erik brings more than 27 years of experience in engineering and sales across the satellite industry. His leadership at VolitionRF is backed by deep expertise in radio frequency (RF) technologies and a targeted approach to innovation.
VolitionRF develops cutting-edge RF solutions to support the Department of Defense, specifically for the U.S. warfighter. Their airborne ISR terminals and dual-band antenna systems provide real-time, in-flight communication capabilities that were previously unavailable, helping command centers stay abreast of information as it unfolds.
Prior to launching VolitionRF, Erik led a national sales team managing a revenue portfolio exceeding $100 million. His career also includes contributions to leading global GEO satellite operators, where he honed his understanding of how macroeconomics, policy, and emerging tech shape the future of the satellite communications industry.
Erik kicked off his Signature Program journey last week with a dynamic company session, where he shared VolitionRF’s origin story, growth trajectory, and the challenges he and his team are navigating as they scale. It was a compelling conversation about both strategy and execution, and a powerful reminder of the depth of innovation happening right here in Colorado.
A special thank you to BEN Advisors Dessa Bokides, Robert Caruso, Jeff Kelley, Cary Ludtke, Marc Patterson, Al Rosabal, and Todd Siegler for your time and insight during the session. Your guidance is a critical part of what makes the BEN Signature Program so impactful.
The BEN Signature Program is designed to help second-stage entrepreneurs like Erik overcome strategic roadblocks and reach meaningful growth milestones. With personalized support, advisor guidance, and access to a vibrant entrepreneurial community, we’re thrilled to be part of VolitionRF’s journey forward.
Welcome to the BEN community, Erik!
