Good360 Australia has appointed two new board members, bringing extensive retail, digital and leadership experience to the national charity.
Brendan Sweeney has over 20 years’ experience building and scaling digital businesses in Australia and internationally. Originally from Ireland, he has led Digital and Loyalty for the Coles Group and Cotton On Group since moving to Australia in 2012, and most recently served as Managing Director of Catch.com. Mr Sweeney has also held board positions in private equity-owned retailers, ASX subsidiaries and start-up businesses in Australia and the UK.
Teresa Rendo was appointed Managing Director of Apparel Brands in 2022, following more than two decades in senior retail leadership roles, including Acting Managing Director of BIG W. Her experience in retail spans all aspects of the industry, from store operations to international sourcing, buying and merchandising.
Mr Sweeney says he’s inspired by Good360’s unique model and the potential for scaling impact.
“Good360 does incredible work and has a unique business model in the charity sector. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with the talented team and Board on how we can really scale up what we do, reduce waste and help more people in need,” he says
“I’m excited about the opportunity to help Good360 scale operations, onboard more retail partners, and support more charities across Australia. By building smarter, more efficient systems for product donation and distribution, we can strengthen the productivity of the entire charity sector and make every dollar go further.”
Ms Rendo says she’s excited by the opportunity to support Good360 to reach its full potential and help even more charities.
“The thing that really excites me is how we can connect more of the right products to the right charities, at the right time, so they can focus on their purpose and their communities. By doing this we can help take some pressure out of the system and deliver even greater impact,” she says.
“Even though Good360 is a charity, it’s also a business that does good. I’m excited to bring my skills and experience to the team, including more of a business mindset, to support the continued growth and success of Good360.”
