mmm... I think you must adopt a different approach... the category
page is used to list the wiki pages (i.e. article, belongin to the specified
category (i.e. people category page list all the pages classified with
people category).

What you need seems a little bit different: listing all the person present
in your wiki, because they have an article classified as person and
because they are a company owner.

IMHO this can make in 2 ways: working only with person category (but
each person needs to have a page) or use DPL to create a list of person
(in this case the selection criteria could be based on category person
for person article and a template for company article)...

Usign DPL then you can list the name and, if the name come from a
company article, you can link directly to the company instead of a
person article...
