ClearJet Adds Veteran Operator Brent Bellm to Board, Bringing Scale-Up Experience Across Payments, Travel and Enterprise E-commerce

Former CEO of PayPal Europe, President of HomeAway and CEO of BigCommerce joins ClearJet as an independent director as the company scales the SuperCarrier network.

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 10, 2026 — ClearJet, the parcel logistics company behind the SuperCarrier network, today announced that Brent Bellm has joined its Board of Directors as an independent director. Bellm, an Austin-based executive, has spent more than two decades scaling high-growth companies into category leaders across global payments, online travel and enterprise e-commerce, taking two of them public. ClearJet moves more than 30 million packages a year through licensed capacity on commercial flights at 95+ U.S. airports.

Bellm joined eBay in 2001 as director of corporate strategy and played an active role in its acquisition of PayPal. He went on to serve as CEO of PayPal Europe from 2005 to 2009, a period in which European revenue tripled and total payment volume grew roughly 40% a year, before returning to lead PayPal's global product and experience organization.

In 2010, he joined HomeAway, where as President and Chief Operating Officer he ran the company's vacation rental marketplaces on five continents and helped guide it through its 2011 IPO on Nasdaq. From 2015 to 2024 he served as CEO of BigCommerce, the Austin-based enterprise e-commerce platform, and took the company public in 2020. Bellm began his career at McKinsey & Company and Goldman Sachs, and holds a bachelor's degree from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Bellm's experience building platforms for online retailers and marketplaces aligns directly with ClearJet's customer base of e-commerce brands, 3PLs and marketplaces moving to faster, lower-cost delivery.

"Brent has been inside many defining growth stories of the internet era and knows what it takes to turn a fast-growing company into a global category leader," said Chris Guggenheim, Founder and CEO of ClearJet. "That is the stage ClearJet is entering as we scale the SuperCarrier network globally. He also spent a decade building for the same retailers and marketplaces we serve, so he understands our customers as well as our stage."

"I've been fortunate to help build companies at the moment they went from fast-growing to category-defining, and ClearJet has that same energy," said Brent Bellm. "Delivering scalable air infrastructure with effective economics is a real structural advantage, the team is exceptional and the market is enormous. I've seen what this stage looks like up close, and I'm excited to help Chris and the team scale ClearJet into the market leader."

Bellm joins the board following ClearJet's $25 million growth equity round led by Edison Partners, which brought the company's total funding to more than $40 million.
