Australian hospitality technology firm Quantaco is preparing for a new chapter in its growth story, announcing the appointment of Mark Brixton as its next Chief Executive Officer, effective 7 October. The move marks a significant shift in leadership for the company, with founder Anthony Sullivan stepping into the role of Executive Chairman to steer broader strategic direction and future investment plans.

Established in 2021 following the rebrand of PKF Hospitality, Quantaco has quickly become a key player in the leisure and hospitality sector across Australia and New Zealand. The company delivers a tailored combination of technology solutions and professional services designed to help pubs, clubs and restaurants improve operations and build long-term value. Its growth momentum gained further pace last year with the acquisition of CTB AND CO. in September 2024, strengthening its service capabilities and client base.

“With over 200 team members worldwide and technology that continues to deliver measurable value to clients across Australia and New Zealand, it’s an exciting time to welcome Mark to our leadership team,” said Anthony Sullivan. “He has a proven track record of scaling businesses, enhancing customer satisfaction, and expanding operational reach. I am confident his insights and leadership will help accelerate Quantaco’s growth trajectory.”

Brixton joins the company with a strong background in driving expansion for technology businesses. Most recently, he served as Chief Growth Officer at Phocas, where he played a key role in boosting revenue by 200% through the global sales of AI-enabled insights, planning and reporting software. During his time at Phocas, he helped increase annual recurring revenue from $30 million to $100 million, overseeing core commercial functions including sales, marketing, customer success and transformation.

“I’ve been closely observing Quantaco’s impressive growth over the past few years and am inspired by Anthony and the team’s innovative approach to developing technology-driven solutions for the hospitality sector,” Brixton said. “With advancements in AI and other emerging technologies, I believe Quantaco is well-positioned for continued expansion, and I look forward to contributing to its next chapter of empowering hospitality operators.”

In his new role as Executive Chairman, Sullivan will continue to shape Quantaco’s long-term strategy and investment activity. His wider business interests span across several ventures, including Munjarra Capital, Quantaco Capital, Talent Formula and a joint venture with Steadfast Group.

The leadership change comes at a pivotal time for Quantaco as it looks to expand its presence in the leisure and hospitality industry, building on its reputation as a trusted technology partner for operators navigating a rapidly evolving market.
