Luke Bernstein is president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, the largest broad-based business association in Pennsylvania whose membership comprises nearly 10,000 businesses of all sizes and industry sectors—representing nearly 50 percent of the private workforce in the Commonwealth.

A seasoned financial, government, and public policy professional, Luke came to the Chamber in 2022 with more than 20 years of experience in the public and private sectors. In his first month as the Chamber’s president and CEO, Luke helped lead the historic tax reform effort that included the reduction of Pennsylvania’s Corporate Net Income Tax rate from the second highest level in the nation to the eighth lowest by 2031, as well as notable tax relief for small businesses.

Luke has been included in the top 10 of City and State’s “Pennsylvania Power 100” and “Impact 50” for his leadership in making the Commonwealth a better, safer place to live, work, and play.

Before leading the PA Chamber, Luke was most recently executive vice president, chief operations and technology officer at Orrstown Financial Services.  He had served as Orrstown’s corporate spokesperson since 2017.

He was previously senior vice president of external affairs at the Pennsylvania Bankers Association from 2015 to 2017 and deputy chief of staff for former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett from 2011 to 2015.

In addition to his executive leadership roles in the private sector and state government, Luke has experience working at the federal level, as a former appointed advisor in the Administration of President George W. Bush and as an aide in the U.S. Senate. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and policy studies from Dickinson College, where he also served as an adjunct professor.

Luke also completed the Duke Leadership Program at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.  He is a very active member of his community, serving on numerous boards and as a youth sports coach.
