Brex

Scaling fast

The read

Brex lost two senior marketing leaders to Visa and Plaid over the past 90 days, even as it brought in five VP-level hires focused squarely on partnerships and account management — including heads of YC/Speedrun partnerships, SMB partnerships, and implementations. The shift suggests a move toward embedded distribution and away from brand-led acquisition. Outflows tilted toward fintech competitors Airwallex (5), Rippling (4), and Mercury (3), while customer service emerged as the fastest-growing function, likely supporting the new partnership-oriented GTM motion.
