Brant Engelhart is the founder and president of QT9 Software, where he’s spent the last two decades turning a bold idea into a leading software company serving regulated industries worldwide. Starting with just himself and a vision for smarter, more accessible quality and ERP software, Engelhart has grown QT9 into a thriving business with more than 60 team members and thousands of global users. With a background in software development and a passion for operational excellence, he built QT9 from the ground up, designing the first version of the platform himself and guiding its evolution into a complete, cloud-based solution used by companies in life sciences, manufacturing, aerospace, and more. His deep understanding of compliance challenges, paired with his entrepreneurial grit, has made QT9 a trusted name in the QMS and ERP space. Engelhart is known for his hands-on leadership style, commitment to customer success, and belief that the best software doesn’t just meet requirements—it makes people’s jobs easier. When he’s not driving innovation at QT9, you can find him at either a Chicago Bears or Bulls game, traveling with his family, or enjoying a day on the water with a cold one in hand.
