We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Tom Fencl as quantilope’s Chief Financial Officer!
Tom is a strategic finance leader, joining quantilope with over 25 years experience in financial and investment management. Originally from the Czech Republic, Tom moved to the US, obtained his Master’s degree in Business Administration, graduating with High Distinction from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and also earned the CFA charter.
Before finding his passion in leading startup and scale-up finance, Tom gained experience in investment banking and private equity. Most recently, Tom was CFO of CHEQ Inc - an omnichannel digital payments platform, where he led strategic business review, assessed pricing strategy and cost structure, and executed the company’s sale to Cantaloupe, Inc (NYSE: CTLP) - a leader in self-service retail. Prior to that, Tom was at Pricefx - a leading software in price optimization and management, where he oversaw 7x growth of ARR, led the acquisition of Brennus Analytics - an AI pricing software startup based in France, and raised over $100 million in venture capital.
In similar fashion to quantilope’s founders, Tom co-founded a market research agency from his college dorm room. Blending his experience and expertise in both market research and SaaS, Tom will lead quantilope’s investor relationships and corporate development, facilitating our long-term growth plan alongside quantilope CEO, Peter Aschmoneit.
“I am delighted to have won Tom Fencl, one of the leading CFOs in the SaaS sector, for quantilope. With his extensive experience in our two major markets, Europe and the US, Tom will continue to drive quantilope's profitable growth.”
-Peter Aschmoneit, quantilope CEO and Co-founder
In this new role, Tom will provide the business with strategic analysis and insights in all corporate decision making; internally, he will focus on developing talent, systems, and processes to support efficient scaling up.
Tom is passionate about business growth, driving value, and supporting data-driven decision making - a perfect fit for quantilope’s ‘free decisions from gut feel’ mindset.
“I am thrilled to join the awesome team Peter, Lucas, and Tom assembled to tackle the challenge of bringing automation to the consumer insights industry. There is still more scaling to do and I am excited about the opportunity ahead of us.”
- Tom Fencl, quantilope CFO
The entire quantilope organization is excited to welcome Tom to the team as we continue to arm researchers with actionable insights and clear business recommendations - none of which could be possible without ongoing growth led by our Leadership Team. Welcome, Tom!
