What makes people so happy to celebrate a company’s 30th anniversary? In a beautiful Downtown L.A. restaurant, Robert Brezosky raised his glass to honor the people that brought Quest along on its extraordinary journey. Over the past 30 years, thanks to many people in that room, Quest has helped over 10,000 families relocate to new homes all over the country.
The first time you walk into a Quest gathering, you may be surprised by how open and authentic everyone is. In this top-performing company of talented professionals, people are relaxed and having a good time. They talk casually about their children or the reality of juggling work and home life as though they don’t need to hide that very real part of themselves from their colleagues. They warmly hug clients and their current and former bosses and obviously care about each other in a way that is genuine and not performative. Many of these heartfelt relationships have a history that goes back to the early days of Quest.
For the past 30 years, this culture has been deliberately cultivated by founders Barbara Blake and Diane Chierichetti, two women who decided to leave behind some of the less-than-optimal traditional practices of their industry. They created a better model that both nurtures their employees on many levels and empowers them to bring out their very best human-centered work.
There is no question that Quest is the best kind of outlier in its field, and it was this Quest magic that drew the attention of Robert Brezosky, the company’s client-turned-owner in 2024. As he raised his glass in gratitude for the tremendous work that brought Quest to today, he declared his commitment to continuing Quest’s mission and magic while welcoming new friends and partners for a bright and promising future.
