Josh Brenner

The Edge

CEO


The career of Josh Brenner, CEO of The Edge, has been guided by a simple mission: to drive success. He has done just that in startup, scaleup, and Fortune 500 environments alike by focusing on customers, products, and operations. Known for translating customer and market needs into innovative products, and then building the operational infrastructure necessary to drive results, Brenner brings a founder’s spirit to all that he does. That passion goes a long way to driving results and building strong companies.

“Success” has come in many forms over his years as a CEO and operator, from GTM scaling and cutting-edge products to organization-wide turnarounds and organic/M&A growth. Most importantly, success has come in the form of engaged teams, empowered people, and strong organizational cultures.

In his work for Hired, he grew the HR tech platform five-fold and steered the company through a founder transition, acquisition, and rebrand with the Adecco Group, its Fortune 500 parent.

He has led turn-around initiatives, go-to-market scaleups, and transformational M&A transactions that tripled revenues at TiVo, doubled revenues at the venture-backed SaaS company Nomi, and founded and scaled a vertical SaaS MarTech platform/B2B2C marketplace that was sold to SpaFinder at a 5x revenue multiple. He has also served as startup advisor and board director to Synquery AI, Shopkeep (acquired by Lightspeed Commerce), Sightsy, City Lunch Club, and Terms on Time.
