Brad Webb was a professional yachtsman for more than 20 years, earned multiple world titles and participated in seven America's Cup campaigns – including five with Oracle Team USA. He was the "bowman" when Oracle Team USA won the 33rd America's Cup in 2010, and was also a backup grinder and USA 17 boat captain when the team won the 34th America's Cup in 2013 on San Francisco Bay,

After his racing career, Webb acted as head of the hydraulics and drive train systems department at SailGP.
