Lisa McDonald Joins PGA REACH Georgia Trustee Group

PGA REACH Georgia, the 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of the Georgia Section of the PGA of America, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa McDonald to its Trustee group, adding accomplished executive leadership and entrepreneurial expertise to the foundation’s growing base of community leaders.

McDonald is an accomplished entrepreneur and former CEO of MDSi, the IT solutions company she helped grow from a small regional business into a nationally recognized technology partner serving many of the world’s leading service providers and enterprise organizations. Over more than three decades, she and her leadership team built MDSi into a consistently profitable, growth-driven organization known for operational excellence, trusted customer relationships, and managing over $1 billion in customer assets. 

In 2025, McDonald and her team successfully guided the sale of MDSi to Pedal Point Holdings, a U.S. platform backed by global metals and materials leader Korea Zinc. The transaction marked a significant milestone in the company’s evolution and positioned MDSi to scale its capabilities within a multibillion-dollar international organization.

Her leadership has earned national recognition, including being named to CRN’s Women of the Channel list in both 2024 and 2025, leading MDSi onto the CRN Solution Provider 500 list, and being honored among CRN’s Power 80 Solution Providers in 2025.

“Strong Trustees are essential to advancing our mission and broadening our impact across Georgia,” said Scott Geary, CEO of the Georgia PGA and Executive Director of PGA REACH Georgia. “Lisa brings a wealth of executive experience, strategic insight, and a genuine commitment to mentorship and leadership development. We are thrilled to welcome her to PGA REACH Georgia.”

Today, McDonald is focused on advising, investing, and exploring opportunities where she can help organizations grow, innovate, and scale. A passionate advocate for women in leadership, she remains deeply committed to mentorship and creating pathways for the next generation of female executives in technology and business.

“It’s inspiring to see how PGA REACH Georgia uses golf as a vehicle to create opportunity and positive change,” said McDonald. “I’m honored to join the Trustee Council and support the foundation’s work across the state.”
