Kelly Brown steps down as Triquestra CEO

After 18 years of leadership, our CEO Kelly Brown is stepping down from her role effective 5 July 2024.

Kelly has led with heart and soul, and we’re grateful for her vision, dedication and the leadership role she’s played in making Triquestra what it is today.

She fostered a company culture grounded on mutual respect and a passion for excellence and customer success. Her leadership has been instrumental to our growth, and her legacy is one of innovation, adaptability and collaborative management.

“I've decided to leave Triquestra because it’s a new chapter for TQ and time for a new professional challenge for me,” said Kelly. “I’ve enjoyed a terrific career in the rapidly changing retail tech sector. What drew me in and kept me excited to deliver TQ’s purpose year after year was the team’s ambition for the business, their collective smarts and genuine commitment to prioritise people and clients.

One of my proudest achievements at TQ is the development of an exceptional leadership team. Together with our committed Board members, I have deep confidence in them to lead TQ into the future,” said Kelly.

“I was thrilled to lead TQ’s engagement in Vela APX’s acquisition of the business last year and am delighted by the opportunities it gives our people and clients,” Kelly added. “After 9 months working alongside the Vela team, I am confident we chose the right partner to support TQ’s focus and expertise in delivering world-class unified commerce solutions.”

Ron Beddows, Director of Triquestra, said, “On behalf of the Vela Group and Triquestra Board, I want to thank Kelly for her leadership and focus on our retail clients, partners and employees.

“Triquestra transformed its business model and strengthened its value proposition for retail brands and partners. Kelly has developed a company now globally recognised for its product, culture and performance.”

A process will shortly commence to find Kelly’s replacement.

We look forward to building on everything accomplished under Kelly’s leadership, and the team are incredibly energised by the opportunities ahead.

Thank you, Kelly. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and look forward to seeing the things you will undoubtedly achieve.

Thanks also to all our clients and partners for your continued support. We continue to be focussed on supporting retailers and brands deliver the unified experiences consumers now expect.
