Meet the team

Leadership

Here are just a few of the fine folks that create and care for SofterWare’s products.

DonorPerfect CEO and Co-Founder

Douglas Schoenberg

CEO and Co-Founder

You probably think CEO stands for Chief Executive Officer, but my job is really to be (C)oach, (E)xperience Sharer & (O)rganizer. I spend most of my time using my 30+ years of experience to encourage and support SofterWarians (thankfully not a term we actually use) to create great products and provide great service. Mostly it is an easy job, because the people who work here really care about our clients and each other. I love travel, food, and of course, my family. I also love to laugh and be happy. Luckily, I enjoy the work we do and also appreciate my own sense of humor, so I get to smile a lot!

DonorPerfect President

Lauren Sheehan

President

I love this company, the people that work here and the amazing clients we serve. My favorite part of this job is having the opportunity to see team members here grow, take risks and achieve their professional goals. When I’m not at work, I’m probably working on my farm or fishing. I’m passionate about sustainable living practices and enjoy keeping chicken, bees, keeping the weeds in my veggie garden at bay and making wine and bread!

DonorPerfect Co-Founder and Board Member

Nathan Relles

Co-Founder and Board Member

100 words or less? Seriously? I’m an Italian-born immigrant fortunate to be a U.S. citizen. I love running, electrical power, and above all my family. I like a good anecdote, especially if it has a moral. Card tricks too. I’m grateful for the exceptional people around me who relentlessly pursue SofterWare’s mission to make easier software so our clients can achieve success easily. Really. I try to indicate precisely what I mean to say, and help others do the same. I’m usually much more verbose, so I think I did well here.

Director of Integrated Payments

Dan Colbeth

Director of Integrated Payments

As the Director of Integrated Payments, I lead SofterWare’s efforts to improve the financial capabilities and ease of use of our SafeSave Payment Services solution. When I’m not working with the talented group of individuals at SofterWare to help our customers achieve their goals, I’m likely traveling with my wife Megan or spending time practicing my mixed martial arts skills.

DonorPerfect VP of Implementation

Eleanor Stasio

VP of Implementation

I lead a team that offers top-notch system setup and training so our clients are positioned to be successful and meet their mission on a daily basis. I love spending time with my family and friends on Long Beach Island and traveling to warm areas. My passion for exercise leads me to our local YMCA where I teach spin and fitness classes.

DonorPerfect Business Development Manager

Darryl Moser

Interim Product Manager for API and Integration

Inspired by our clients’ work, successes, and challenges, I seek out innovative products and services that together with DonorPerfect create solutions for our nonprofit organizations.

I manage an amazing team of support representatives who work diligently to help DonorPerfect users get the most out of our software. Since starting here in 2014, I have embraced the daily opportunities and unique challenges that our customers bring to make our software a better product and our team a better resource. Outside of the office, I love to run, spend time with my family, cheer on our awesome Philly sports teams and go to the beach.

DonorPerfect Accounting Manager

Frank Trymbiski

Accounting Manager

I manage a team of numbers-savvy people who ensure everyone gets paid, along with spreadsheet gurus who translate data into actionable to-dos that continuously evolve our products and customer experience for the better. When I’m not crunching numbers, I enjoy adventures in the great outdoors with my wife and two hyperactive dogs.

DonorPerfect VP of Finance and Ops

Mike Scott

VP of Finance and Ops

As financial and operations officer, I thrive on helping people achieve more by focusing on the most impactful elements of their job and then measuring results, celebrating successes, and learning from occasional failures. “Better to have tried and failed, than not to have tried,” I often say. In the 80’s, Paul Young sang, “Wherever I leave my hat, that’s my home,” so I tend to leave my silly hat at the beach – on summer Mondays of course!

DonorPerfect Agile PMO Manager

John LeMaitre

Agile PMO Manager

I enjoy helping our Development team and Product Management team implement Agile practices and techniques that drive enhanced collaboration and accountability. My role is to serve the portfolio’s best interest, while embracing a servant leadership approach and leading by example. On my off hours, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 daughters, and finding creative ways to make them laugh.

DonorPerfect Chief Revenue Officer

Eric Foster

Chief Revenue Officer

I focus on helping SofterWare and its customers succeed by growing. When I’m not working with our talented associates and clients, I’m probably enjoying time with my wife and daughter, playing tennis or squash, or doing all manner of household projects.

Along with my talented team, I help organizations and their constituents raise money for incredible causes around the world by building and evolving an easy-to-use Online Forms product.

Carl Zentmayer

IT Manager

From computers to Internet connections, phones to facilities, I help the folks at SofterWare work in a cutting-edge, comfortable environment so they can serve our clients better.

Miranda Marlapudi

My incredible team and I work with new customers who have just purchased our products to ensure they are set up for success right from the start and for many years to come.

DonorPerfect Training Manager

Lori Skibjak

Training Operations Manager

I started with SofterWare in 2007 and I am in awe of what our clients do to help others. I manage an exceptional team of trainers whose goal is to empower our users when it comes to using DonorPerfect. They put in the time with the clients whether virtually or in person to be sure they are comfortable doing their job using the software. When I’m not working with my team or clients I spend my time de-stressing in the kitchen, working on converting baking recipes to gluten free, especially if it’s chocolate! I also like to spend my time with family on the beaches of Cape May and visiting their wineries.

Jeff Vogel

Director of Business Development

I am grateful to lead a talented and dynamic team that helps fuel and amplify our customers’ success. We are a group of product storytellers, success coaches, artists, analysts, builders, and detail-obsessed project managers who are inspired by our customers’ commitment to social good.
