Heather Gould Appointed as Chief Growth Officer at Questco
Questco, a well-known Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in the United States and a portfolio company of LightBay Capital, has made a significant leadership change with the appointment of Heather Gould as their new Chief Growth Officer. Announced on September 1, 2026, this move is designed to enhance the company's growth strategy, particularly in expanding into new and existing markets.
Gould comes with a wealth of experience in the PEO sector, boasting over 15 years of expertise in scaling revenue teams and driving market expansion initiatives. Her previous roles include serving as the Chief Strategy Officer at BBSI and, more recently, as the Executive Vice President of Strategy, Growth, and Transformation at Resourcing Edge. This background positions her well to lead Questco's strategic initiatives in regards to sales, marketing alignment, product offerings, and overarching mergers and acquisitions strategy.
This high-profile appointment coincides with a planned transition for Jason Randall, who has been at the helm of Questco’s growth function since 2018. Following his impactful tenure - where he played a pivotal role in broadening the company's reach and fostering a client-centric approach to growth - Randall will shift to a Strategic Advisor role while continuing his influence on the Board of Directors. His focus will remain on the company's go-to-market priorities, providing insights and guidance as the company navigates its future.
Olivier Kohler, CEO of Questco, shared his thoughts on Gould’s potential impact, stating, “Heather brings exactly the expansion mindset and execution discipline we need as we accelerate our next phase of growth. Her proven track record in scaling revenue and building high-performing growth teams will be instrumental in expanding our market reach and deepening our impact for clients.” Kohler also expressed enthusiasm for continued collaboration with Randall in his new advisory capacity, emphasizing the importance of building upon the successes achieved under his management.
Questco has established itself as a leader in the PEO industry by offering comprehensive human resources, payroll, benefits, and risk management solutions tailored for small to mid-sized businesses nationwide. The company is headquartered in Texas and is dedicated to simplifying workforce management while enabling sustainable growth for its partners.
Looking ahead, the appointment of Heather Gould is poised to position Questco favorably within the competitive PEO landscape. Her leadership is anticipated to catalyze fresh growth opportunities, enhancing both client satisfaction and the company’s market footprint. With a strategic vision aligned with the evolving needs of their clients, Questco aims to stay ahead in a rapidly changing business environment.
