Quest Resource adds to its executive team

Quest Resource Holding Corp. says it has appointed Brett Johnston as its senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective Nov. 1.

Quest, a The Colony, Texas-based national provider of waste and recycling data and tracking services to large companies, made two acquisitions in the waste sector late last year.

Johnston spent nearly 20 years in the construction products sector with Dallas-based Arcosa Inc.

“I am excited to welcome Brett to Quest as our next chief financial officer,” Quest CEO Ray Hatch says. “Brett is a talented, results-oriented leader with extensive financial, strategy, systems, and M&A experience, all of which are of vital importance in maintaining our reputation as a service leader and driving growth and continuous improvements in our profitability and returns.”  

“I look forward to working with Quest’s management team and being part of a rapidly growing company that serves a critical need to help large companies improve sustainability in a cost-effective manner," Johnston says. "With its compelling customer value position, asset light business model, and established national platform, I see significant opportunities for profitable growth that will continue to benefit from advantages of scale.”

Quest says it provides information and data involving a variety of waste and recycling streams that tracks and reports the environmental results and “gives actionable data to improve business operations,” enabling Quest’s clients “to excel in their business and sustainability responsibilities.”
