GRTC announced the hiring of Marc René as the Director of Finance. René joined GRTC after serving as Vice President of Finance and Administration with Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity. He brings a comprehensive background from various government, nonprofit, and commercial media finance positions that will help guide GRTC through major improvements to software, processes, and financial accountability and transparency improvements.

GRTC CFAO John Zinzarella described his excitement about Marc joining the GRTC team. “GRTC is happy to welcome Marc Rene into the position of Director of Finance. His diverse experience will be an asset to GRTC, as the organization embarks on the evaluation of its enterprise business processes and the implementation of its new ERP system.”

René will be leading an ambitious and expanding GRTC finance team, including through the implementation of Oracle ERP.  “The ERP centralizes platforms into one place and creates efficiency” explained René, who has previously helped SourceAmerica implement the same program. “It makes our lives much easier. It’s one point of entry to accomplish a multitude of things.”

René described GRTC as the logical next step to continue serving the community following his time with Habitat for Humanity. “There is a great coalition between affordable housing and transportation. GRTC is absolutely vital to the community and joining seemed like a great opportunity to serve the same community in a new way.”
