Bob Bagga is an entrepreneur, financial technology innovator and barter exchange pioneer based in the Seattle area. He is the co-founder, CEO and president of BizX, a network of businesses that trade with each other without spending any cash. Founded after the 9/11 attacks, BizX helps businesses connect and forge new, and potentially long-lasting relationships where they can support one another – particularly during times of crisis. Prior to founding BizX, Bagga launched the Barter Business Exchange, which facilitated more than $60 million in trading volume per year and involved more than 4,000 member companies, including high-profile brands such as Rogers Communication, Revlon, and Kodak. He also served as the COO of UBarter, a consumer-focused online barter platform. Bagga has been recognized with various awards, including Puget Sound Business Journal’s ’40 Under 40’, the “Exceptional Leadership Award” from the Young Presidents’ Organization, and various honors from the International Reciprocal Trade Association. He currently lives in the Seattle, Washington, area with his family.
