Questco, a leading professional employer organization (PEO) and LightBay Capital portfolio company, has appointed Olivier Kohler as Chief Executive Officer. Kohler previously served as Executive Chair of Questco, where he collaborated closely with the leadership team and Board to shape the Company's strategic direction and operational performance.
As part of a planned leadership transition, Jason Randall, who served as CEO for the past eight years, has been named Chief Growth Officer—a newly created role. In this position, Randall will continue leading Questco's organic business development efforts and guide the Company's mergers and acquisitions activity.
Questco has completed six acquisitions and significantly expanded its sales force in recent years, with plans to accelerate this momentum as part of its long-term growth strategy.
"This transition reflects both the strength of our leadership team and the next phase of Questco's evolution," said Adam Stein, Co-Founder and Partner, LightBay Capital. "Olivier brings deep operational insight, strategic discipline, a strong partnership mindset, and a proven track record of scaled success to the CEO role. At the same time, Jason's continued leadership of growth initiatives ensures continuity and momentum in the areas where he has driven exceptional results."
Kohler has been integral to Questco's recent progress, including strategic planning and operational enhancements. His background in the PEO industry and prior executive roles equips him to lead the Company through its next stage of scaling and market expansion.
"I'm honored to step into the CEO role at such an exciting time for Questco," said Olivier Kohler. "Jason and I have worked closely together, and this transition is a natural extension of that partnership. Questco has a strong foundation, a differentiated platform, and significant opportunities ahead."
Randall's eight-year tenure as CEO drove substantial growth, operational scaling, and strategic expansion. In his new role, he will concentrate on amplifying these efforts.
"It has been a privilege to serve as CEO and to work alongside such a talented team," said Jason Randall. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue building Questco in a role that allows me to focus fully on growth - expanding our sales engine, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and helping shape the next chapter of the Company."
The leadership change positions Questco to capitalize on its momentum in the PEO sector, delivering comprehensive HR, payroll, benefits, and risk management solutions to small and mid-sized businesses nationwide.
