About Brett Queener

As a Partner at Bonfire Ventures, I am an active advisor and investor in seed-stage business software companies.My entire career has been focused on growing software companies - fast. From 2013 to 2016, I served as COO at SmartRecruiters, where I partnered with the founding team to convert a pre-revenue company into a leading enterprise player in the recruiting technology space, serving high-profile customers like Visa, Bosch, and IKEA. Prior to SmartRecruiters, I was an executive at two of the fastest-growing software companies in history. I spent a decade at salesforce.com serving in a variety of senior leadership roles in Sales, R&D, and Operations focused on driving the company growth and expansion across market segments and product categories. Prior to salesforce.com, I held senior marketing and business development positions at Siebel Systems, which was eventually acquired by Oracle Corporation.
