Craig "Tooey" Courtemanche is the Founder, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Procore Technologies. Beginning his
professional life as a builder, Tooey has always been passionate
about building things and straddled two worlds that felt
disconnected: construction and technology. Discovering the world of
software in the 1990s, Tooey left his professional real estate
developer career to immerse himself in the Silicon Valley tech
boom. Working in San Francisco inspired him to found his first web
startup which enabled Fortune 1000 companies to transition from
analog to web services. It was here that he learned firsthand the
impact digital transformation could have on different industries.
In 2002, Tooey brought his two passions, technology and
construction, together and started Procore. He set out to build a
company that connected everyone in construction on a global
platform, and thus improved the lives of everyone in construction.
He knew the best way to do this was to invest in culture from day
one and has since created a culture of Procorians who have empathy
for the industry they serve and thrive when they’re on-site with
customers, working alongside them to develop solutions to the
challenges they face.For the last 17 years, Procore has been
winning awards for its customer-first products and culture-first
teams. Over 1.3M owners, general contractors and specialty
contractors across the globe use the Procore platform to do what
they do best; build.
