Brent Bellm, who has previously served as the CEO of PayPal in Europe, President of HomeAway, and CEO of BigCommerce, has joined ClearJet as an independent director. The company is currently expanding its SuperCarrier network.
Austin, Texas, November 10, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- ClearJet, a package logistics company that operates the SuperCarrier network, announced today that Brent Bellm has joined the company's board of directors as an independent director. Bellm, who resides in Austin, has over twenty years of experience in transforming high-growth companies into industry leaders in the fields of global payments, online travel, and corporate e-commerce. Two of these companies went public with his involvement. ClearJet transports more than 30 million packages annually through its authorized capacity on commercial flights at over 95 airports in the United States.
Bellm joined eBay in 2001, serving as the Director of Corporate Strategy, and played an active role in the acquisition of PayPal by eBay. Subsequently, from 2005 to 2009, he held the position of CEO of PayPal Europe. During that period, PayPal's European revenue tripled, with the total volume of payment transactions growing at an average annual rate of about 40%. Afterward, he returned to lead the Global Products and Experience organization at PayPal.
In 2010, he joined HomeAway and served as President and Chief Operating Officer, responsible for the company's vacation rental market business across five continents, and helped to drive the company's listing on NASDAQ in 2011. From 2015 to 2024, he held the position of CEO for the e-commerce platform BigCommerce headquartered in Austin, and led the company to go public in 2020. His career at Bellm began at McKinsey & Company and Goldman Sachs, and he holds a Bachelor's degree from Stanford University as well as an MBA degree from Harvard Business School.
ClearJet stated that Bellm's experience in building platforms for online retailers and e-commerce platforms is a perfect fit for the company's clientele, which includes e-commerce brands, third-party logistics companies, and various platforms that are shifting towards faster, lower-cost delivery.
ClearJet, the founder and CEO, Chris Guggenheim said: "I have personally experienced many representative growth stories in the internet era and know well how to turn a rapidly growing company into a global leader in its category. ClearJet is now at such a stage; we are expanding our SuperCarrier network on a global scale. He has also spent ten years serving the same retailers and platforms as us, so he understands both our customers and the development stage we are in."
Brent Bellm means: "I am very fortunate to have helped some companies make the leap at a critical moment as they transitioned from rapid growth to defining their respective categories, and ClearJet also possesses the same potential. Providing scalable aviation infrastructure in a way that is economically viable is a true structural advantage; the team is outstanding, and the market scale is also enormous. I have witnessed this phase up close, and I am delighted to be able to help Chris and their team expand ClearJet to become market leaders."
Before joining the board of directors, ClearJet had just completed a $25 million growth equity financing led by Edison Partners, bringing the company's total cumulative financing to over $40 million.
