Good360 Australia, Australia’s leading not-for-profit online marketplace for charities and disadvantaged schools, is pleased to announce the appointment of two new board members, Brendan Sweeney and Teresa Rendo, who bring extensive retail, digital and leadership experience to the national charity.
Good360 exists to ensure no one in Australia goes without life’s everyday essentials (including for hygiene, play, home and education) and since 2015 has redirected more than 44 million items donated by retailers to people in need, via a network of over 4,800 charities and disadvantaged schools across Australia.
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, where he built Australia’s largest domestically owned online marketplace. Brendan 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 extensive experience in retail spans all aspects of the industry, from store operations to international sourcing, buying and merchandising.
Brendan Sweeney said he is 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. Australia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, yet so many people are struggling to afford the essentials. On one side there’s a glut of unsold products, and on the other, people are going without. It just makes sense to bridge that gap.
“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.”
Teresa Rendo said she is 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.
“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. Every business, no matter its size, can make being more efficient and sustainable, and giving back to the community, a pillar of their strategy. It’s good for the environment, good for teams and businesses, and good for communities.”
