Hello!

I’m Brendan King

CEO & Co-Founder of Vendasta

Who is Brendan?

Intense, boisterous, imaginative.

Local business owners need help with their marketing and other tedious tasks that pull them away from doing what they love. Professionals who offer solutions to those businesses need better tools to help. Brendan saw the gap, and he spent the next decade building a business that could fill it. Brendan is the CEO of Vendasta,

a software platform driven by professionals who provide digital solutions to local businesses. His vision, excitement, and practical approach to business led Brendan to grow his small, Canadian start-up from a few like-minded leaders to a team of hundreds who serve marketing, technology, and sales professionals internationally.
