Travis Hess
Travis Hess is the CEO of Commerce.com (the company formerly known as BigCommerce), the publicly traded ecommerce platform he rebranded in 2025 to bet the business on AI-driven, agentic commerce. An agency and consulting veteran who spent 15-plus years scaling direct-to-consumer brands at Accenture, The Stable, and BVA before ever running a software company, he joined BigCommerce as President in May 2024 and took the CEO seat that October. He is candid to a fault about the hard parts of the job, once comparing the experience of watching the stock price to 'getting wedgied in front of the class every day.'
