Bob Parsons wife: Who is Renee Parsons?
A leader in business, fashion, and philanthropy is Renee Parsons. She is the co-founder of The Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation, the president and executive creative director of PXG Apparel, and Scottsdale National Golf Club’s director of hospitality and design.
Her parents, who managed a restaurant, reared her in a tiny Michigan town where she was born and raised. She was taught the value of hard work and helping others at a young age.
When she was 13 years old, she started working at The Pixie, a restaurant that her grandpa founded in 1945.
Following this, Parsons decided to pursue a career in the hotel sector and graduated from Central Michigan University with a BA in Hospitality and Business.
She worked for years in the hotel industry, first in Chicago and then in Scottsdale, where she eventually met Bob Parsons.
By joining the GoDaddy team in 2009, Parsons was able to combine her love of hospitality with her drive to assist others.
In less than a year, Parsons established GoDaddy Cares, a targeted giving initiative that supports deserving charities including Hope for Haiti and Make-A-Wish Arizona.
Today, Parsons keeps philanthropy at the forefront of her priorities and uses her leadership positions to come up with unique and impactful methods to give back.
