Goodwill Industries-Manasota promotes two, hires one new team member

Goodwill Industries-Manasota, Inc. has bolstered its executive team in support of three key operational areas – real estate, safety and risk management, and technology – through two promotions and one new hire. Kim Glogovsky has been promoted to vice president of real estate; Kevin Ouellette has been promoted to vice president of safety and risk management; and Russ Prentice has been hired as the new vice president of IS (information systems).

Glogovsky, whose previous professional experience included serving as a construction and development liaison and a property manager, began working for Goodwill Manasota in 2020, first serving as the commercial property manager, then becoming the director of real estate market & development in 2020; she was promoted to senior director of real estate development and acquisition in early 2025. In her new role, she will direct the evaluation, acquisition, property management, and the development of real estate assets and leased properties for Goodwill Industries-Manasota and its east coast subsidiary, Goodwill Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast.

Ouellette, who previously managed resort properties, began working at Goodwill Manasota in 2012, when he was hired into operations store leadership before transitioning to mission services. From there, he took a leadership role in Safety and Risk Management before becoming a director in both HR and Safety and Risk Management. As the VP of Safety and Risk Management, he will be responsible for developing, implementing, and leading comprehensive safety and risk management programs as well as identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks to protect the organization’s physical assets, employees, and brand. Additionally, this position is accountable for proactively addressing possible issues related to theft, fraud, ethics, and operational accountability.

Prentice is an IT/IS executive with more than 15 years of experience leading multi-site retail technology operations. He has previously served as the director of IT systems, North America for Aeropostale, VP of technology for Chicos FAS, Inc., and VP of technology for BBX Capital-ITSUGAR. In his new role with Goodwill Industries-Manasota, he will be responsible for all organizational technology information systems required to achieve strategic goals, supporting enterprise-wide planning while overseeing IT workflows and key technology initiatives.

“Our mission is only possible because of the talented leaders who support our work every day,” said Donn Githens, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries-Manasota. “We’re proud to recognize the leadership Kim and Kevin have already demonstrated and are excited to welcome Russ to the team as we continue changing lives through the power of work.”
