LEADERSHIP TEAM
Renee Zau
CEO & Co-founder
DonationMatch is a result of Renee's experience as both a silent auction chair and business owner/marketer. As a multi-unit franchisee managing a regional marketing co-op, she has volunteered with several organizations’ fundraising events each year since 2003. It was on auction committees that she realized both the synergies and challenges faced by donor companies and event leaders regarding in-kind donations and how manually tedious it could be. Knowing there should be a better way to make win-win marketing opportunities available to companies while simplifying qualified access to donations, she partnered with Darryl to build DonationMatch.
Darryl Rettig
CTO & Co-founder
In his 30+ years in IT, Darryl has built more business intelligence systems than he can count, helping companies small and large with risk exposure, financial reporting, operational efficiencies, performance management, and even costume reservations. He believes that behind all the technology, there's a person with a real problem to solve, and it's his job to help get it done. He's often heard asking, "If you had a magic wand, how would you want this to work?" In leading DonationMatch’s development and growth, Darryl's philosophy is simple: focus on the customer, and everyone wins.
