Brandon Bloom Email & Phone Number

Brandon Bloom is a Director of Engineering at Brex. Colleagues describe him as "I worked as an engineer on Brandon’s team while he was CTO at Legalpad and found him to be a great manager and engineer. He quickly earned my trust and respect through his consistency, honesty, and the value he places on the success and well being of others.  He has high expectations and pushes each of us to reach our goals while simultaneously helping us achieve them.  I found working with him easy as he communicates his expectations clearly and considers the wants and needs of the team. Additionally, he welcomes criticism and quickly assimilates feedback into his management technique.  As a technical mentor, Brandon is patient and works with people at their skill level, giving equal attention to both senior and junior team members alike.  As a leader he is decisive and fair, setting the team up for success and taking ownership of failures. As an engineer he has no autopilot - he puts thought into all of his solutions, favors pragmatism over dogma, and values design.  I am sure I will look for opportunities to work with Brandon again in the future.", "Brandon is a 10x engineer that is extremely rare in Silicon Valley, let alone Seattle. He is a quick study in domain expertise and brought a sustainable and scalable approach to building our product. Beyond his technology skills, Brandon is always an integral member of the team. As a cofounder, he challenged me to grow beyond my own expectations, and as a leader, he can always be leaned on to provide the team with support and clear direction. Brandon grows his teams in a culture that challenges them to think beyond what they know, celebrates their successes, and works with them proactively to create an environment that is conducive to personal and professional growth. It has been an amazing experience working with Brandon.", and "At his core, Brandon is a teacher and a leader. At a legal tech company where a communication disconnect between engineering and customer service might have occurred, Brandon ensured the bridging of that gap with patience and understanding. He is a powerhouse of engineering, product, and business acumen, as well as judicious leadership across all fronts. You will find his energy contagious and empowering, and his rare pairing of natural authority and thoughtful, holistic approach to work and people management invaluable. I am left with a deep appreciation for all that he has taught me and empowered me to achieve."
