ClearJet, the parcel logistics company behind the SuperCarrier network, has appointed Brent Bellm as an independent director. Bellm brings more than two decades of experience scaling companies in payments, travel and enterprise e-commerce. ClearJet moves more than 30 million packages a year through licensed capacity on commercial flights at 95+ U.S. airports. The appointment follows the company’s $25 million growth equity round led by Edison Partners, bringing its total funding to more than $40 million.

Experience Across Online Businesses

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

At HomeAway, Bellm served as President and Chief Operating Officer, running vacation rental marketplaces on five continents and helping guide the company through its 2011 IPO on Nasdaq. He was CEO of BigCommerce from 2015 to 2024 and took the enterprise e-commerce platform public in 2020.

Supporting SuperCarrier Growth

Bellm’s background in platforms for online retailers and marketplaces aligns with ClearJet’s customer base of e-commerce brands, 3PLs and marketplaces seeking 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. 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.”

A New Board Role

The new independent director joins ClearJet as the company expands its SuperCarrier network globally.

“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. 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.”
