Welcome to our new CEO: Greg Cantlon takes the helm at Triquestra

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter at Triquestra. After nearly ten years of driving innovation and growth within our team, Greg Cantlon has been appointed as our new Chief Executive Officer. 

For those who’ve worked closely with us over the years, Greg is no stranger. He’s been with us since 2015, most recently serving as our Chief Product Officer. In this role, he’s been a driving force behind our software solutions, helping retail clients create resilient and nimble enterprises.  

Ron Beddows, Director of Triquestra, said: “Greg’s deep understanding of both our products and our clients’ needs makes him the perfect person to lead us into the future.  

“He has been instrumental in tackling our most important priorities, including accelerating our development velocity, and I know he’ll hit the ground running to strengthen our value proposition for retail clients and deliver results.  

“With Greg at the helm, our mission remains unchanged: to provide retailers with the highest-quality software solutions to help them deliver the unified experiences consumers now expect. We’re committed to a seamless transition, ensuring that Triquestra continues to be a trusted and valued partner to brands and retailers.” 

Greg added: “I want to thank Ron, and the Vela and Triquestra teams for their confidence in my leadership. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with an amazing team and forging strong relationships with our clients and partners. I’m excited to build on everything we have achieved under Kelly Brown’s leadership and drive innovation that supports our clients’ growth.   

“My focus will be on staying true to our values, fostering collaboration and ensuring that Triquestra remains a leader in retail unified commerce solutions. We are on track to do amazing things, particularly now with access to the knowledge, investment and vast peer network of Vela. Thank you to everyone on the journey with us.”  

We’re excited to embark on this next chapter with Greg leading the way. We’re confident that his leadership will bring fresh ideas, continued growth and new opportunities for our people, clients and partners.  

Please join us in congratulating Greg on his new role!  

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.
