Quinta succeeds Edward Gregory, who has recently moved to the United Kingdom and has joined global e-sports powerhouse Fnatic. 

"I'm honoured and grateful to have been given the opportunity to lead this exceptional organisation of young, creative and talented professionals," says Quinta. "We continuously strive to provide sponsors and clients with the platform to create a meaningful impact in the sports market." 

"We believe that true value lies beyond just cricket, rugby and soccer; that is why we work with federations that are not restricted by traditional norms. Our passion is to empower women's sport and I look forward to helping them reach the heights they deserve," adds Quinta.

Born in Rustenburg, where he attended school at Fields College, Qunita later went on to earn a BCom honours degree in recreation and sport management from the University of Pretoria.

The agency says that Quinta joined Accelerate in August 2015 as a sales and marketing executive and then later moved on to head of marketing. And, with his strong leadership and industry knowledge, the agency credits Quinta for a great portion of its success over the years.

He will now be responsible for growing the business and expanding the model beyond the current scope. He will also continue to play a role in developing dynamic content for federations and create new opportunities and value for sponsors.

"Quinta is a perfect fit for the role to lead our brand into the future, given his wonderful personal growth, a strong command of our business and a proven ability to drive results in the sport market," says Gary Grant, managing director of Accelerate.

"We are on a positive growth course and well-positioned to continue building on our strong momentum. I'm pleased that Daniel will lead our organisation to ensure a seamless transition of growth and market leadership, he thoroughly deserves it," concludes Grant.
