Background

About Brett Barrett

I’ve spent 16+ years at NinjaTrader, where I currently serve as Vice President of Engineering. Over that time, I’ve had the privilege of leading the NinjaTrader Desktop Product, guiding the technology organization as Executive VP of Technology, and holding roles as Technical Fellow and Interim CTO. Today, my focus is on building NinjaTrader’s world-class B2B2C SaaS business, helping prop firms scale and succeed in the marketplace. I’m passionate about leveraging AI to unlock engineering velocity, streamline operations, and deliver trader-focused features that drive real impact. With deep expertise across trading platforms, infrastructure, and SaaS delivery, I thrive on solving complex challenges and empowering both traders and firms with innovative solutions. Outside of work, I’m a motorsports enthusiast and avid photographer. I’m also proud to be a dad to two amazing kids and grateful to share life with a wonderful wife who inspires me every day.
