About Bradford Shellhammer

I have dedicated my career to building and scaling dynamic marketplaces. With a bias to execution, a founder's spirit, and clear strategic thinking, I have helped iconic brands grow, evolve, and thrive. With my unique personal journey and style, I have been able to recruit and empower diverse product talent at scale. I am equally comfortable getting my hands dirty as I am setting longterm vision and strategy.Currently, I lead the Product Management, Product Design, Retention Marketing, Growth Marketing, Brand & Communication Design, Product Catalog, SEO, and User Research teams at Reverb, a subsidiary of Etsy, and the largest online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling new, used, and vintage musical instruments.Prior to that, at eBay, I led the global Buyer Experience product management organization and eBay for Charity, which has raised over $1 billion for nonprofits over the world. During my tenure at eBay, we saw explosive growth, and our experiences had over $90B flow through them for many consecutive years. Our product improvements contributed to billions in incremental sales. My teams defined the direction, design, and build of eBay's Buyer Experience including all homepages, item & product pages, browse pages, global header & app navigation, content, My eBay, eBay Deals platform, the eBay vault, price guidance, collections, Authenticity Guaranteed, merchandising tools, vertical shopping, computer vision shopping experiences, seller managed services, guest shopping experiences, registration and identity experiences, couponing and loyalty programs, onsite notifications, Watch List and "Saving," searches, sellers, and brands. I also set the vision of eBay’s personalized shopping algorithms and products, and the company’s mobile strategy, while providing creative direction of visual design, marketing content, ux, ui, and curation. My team also included regional development, a group that makes the global products more local, in North America, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Germany, and Australia.I have diverse experience, including 3x as a start-up founder and have been Chief Design Officer, Chief Product Officer, and Chief Executive Officer. I was one of Fast Company’s ‘100 Most Creative People in Business’ and was coined the ‘King of Quirk’ by Forbes Magazine and the ‘Eames of E-Commerce’ by Wired. I founded Fab.com, once valued over $1B, Bezar, and Queerty, was Chief Design Officer at Backcountry.com, and have won 3 Webbys. I sit on the advisory board of several start-ups and sometimes you can find me singing in a rock band.-

  • Ebay
    Chief Curator, Head Of Curation & Merchandising
    Ebay Feb 2016 - Jan 2017
    San Jose, Ca, Us
    I am excited to announce that I have joined eBay’s innovation team heading up Curation and Merchandising. I will be working from both the eBay San Francisco and NYC offices, living between two cities I love. eBay has always been close to my heart and much of what inspired building Fab.com and Bezar was grounded in my decade’s old hunts for unique products on eBay (Grace Jones record, Eames shell chairs, Herman Miller picnic posters). So in a way it's sort of a homecoming to me, as eBay is the world’s biggest and best marketplace for people like me: passionate collectors searching for unique finds at amazing prices. When I met the eBay team I knew I’d found a team of comrades, inspired people dedicated to building innovative new ways to shop and empowering sellers all over the globe. My role at eBay will be focused on building new initiatives within the company, centered around telling stories, spotting trends, curating unique goods, and delighting customers. eBay was the first online place I ever shopped. I am thrilled to be part of the team.

I'm forever indebted to the Backcountry team, who embraced me, taught me to ski and fly fish, and helped me get my mojo back. I stayed on as an advisor to the company once I left to found Bezar.

    Art & Fashion Forum is the 8th edition of an event initiated by Grażyna Kulczyk, which is organized in Stary Browar in Poznań every year since 2007. Until last year under the name of Art & Fashion Festival, it gained a reputation of an open platform of inspiration and education. It became a mine of knowledge of fashion and innovations, the place of inspiring encounters and workshops with notable specialists from around the world.The motto of this year’s 8th edition of AFF is CHIC GEEK. As written in Forbes, it is “an event popularizing everything lying on the edge of technology and design”. In October, some world renowned experts from these fields will come to Poznań to lead many engaging meetings combining fashion and tech. Beside the reoccurring elements, such as the workshops, the exhibition or the award ceremony, this year’s AFF will be holding the Global Fashion Battle. After a series of startup battles organized in the global fashion capitals by AFF and Startup Weekend, the grand finale will take place in Poznań, in Stary Browar.Apart from that, also the New Market trade show will take place during the Forum. Seeking for modern fashion and technology, it will bring together emerging brands from Central and Eastern Europe. The curator of the whole event is Bradford Shelhammer – designer, innovative entrepreneurship, founder of the most successful design store in the world Fab.com, and the icon of a synergy between ‘chic’ and ‘geek’.

  • Fab.Com
    Founder And Chief Design Officer, Chief Creative Officer
    Fab.Com Oct 2009 - Dec 2013
    New York, New York, Us
    Fab was founded in late 2009 by Jason Goldberg (formerly of XING AG and Jobster) and chief designer Bradford Shellhammer. The pair had previously founded Fabulis which was a social network for gay men and their friends before pivoting on June 9, 2011 into Fab, with its model of daily design inspirations and sales. In November 2011, five months after re-launching, Fab reached 1 million members. That first year, the company sold more than $120M in merchandise and grew from 2 people to 700 people and was valued at over $1B. Fab was truly ahead of its time, and has inspired other companies to be more social, design focussed, and emotional in their commerce. At the company I managed hundreds, in teams such as product development, editorial, merchandising, brand, pr and comms, design, curation, and buying. I wrote the iconic tagline, "Smile, you're designed to." and designed our iconic logo. It was a wild ride which taught me so much and changed my life forever.
