Acknowledged by many as a significant contributor to the evolution of information technology, Bradford is well known for accelerating the growth and performance of game-changing organizations. Bradford assumes the position from Mark Newman, who remains with the organization as its founder.
Until April of 2010, Bradford served as CEO of Fusion-io, pioneer of a new storage memory platform. He continues to work with Fusion as Chairman of its Strategic Advisory Board. In his role at Fusion-io, he sourced and brought together an IPO ready management team – which included industry luminary Steve Wozniak – helped secure key strategic partnerships for the company, drove a massive increase in sales and saw the company named America's Most Promising I.T.

Previously, Bradford served as Senior Vice President and
General Counsel of Novell, Inc. During his 15 year tenure, he helped lead the networking start-up through a series of acquisitions, public offerings and business development activities that led to market leadership and sales exceeding $2 Billion. At various points in time, he held responsibilities across four divisions: Legal, Government Relations, Business Development and Security. During this time period, he also twice served as Chairman of the Board of the Business Software Alliance, the world’s leading industry trade assocation representing companies like Microsoft, Novell, Lotus and Oracle.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Chairman, Eric Schmidt, to whom Bradford reported while at Novell, said, “I have known my friend David Bradford for nearly 15 years. In addition to his fine work at Novell, he helped make magic happen with Fusion-io. I have every confidence he will do it again with HireVue, as they pioneer the digital interviewing market.”
Bradford is an advisor to a number of organizations and funds. He was on the original Advisory Board of Omniture, which recently sold to Adobe, and serves on the Board of Directors of Pervasive Software (NASDAQ: PVSW). Bradford is the recipient of numerous honors and distinctions, including the 2010 Utah “Executive of the Year.” He has a law degree from BYU, an MBA degree from Pepperdine University and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Brigham Young University.
Mark Newman, founder of HireVue, said, “We’re incredibly excited to have David guiding the future of HireVue.

His vision for fundamentally changing the world of human talent acquisition and interviewing matches mine. I believe every CEO on the planet will want to incorporate HireVue's Digital Interview Platform due to its speed, cost-savings and ability to facilitate superior people decisions.”

It is reflected in the people and teams he has built at outstanding companies like Novell and Fusion-io,” said Steve Wozniak, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Fusion-io. “I appreciated his introducing me to Fusion-io and know he will build another winner at HireVue.
