A Few of My Successful Clients

What Others Say About Me

“Rachel took our commitment to embed racial equity in our hiring strategy and turned it into a highly visible effort that moved our global team to action. The work was complex and, at times, difficult – but her thoughtful leadership ensured alignment, accountability, and the platform needed to re-envision how we connected with exceptional talent around the world.”

Brendan Castle – Chief People Officer, Zscaler and former Global Head of Recruiting, Google

Strategy & Program Management

Empowering Vision through Flawless Execution

I believe the “devil is in the details,” and have a knack for turning chaos into a well oiled machine. As a former executive assistant and chief of staff, I love partnering with leaders and taking them from vision to concrete strategy that’s practical and drives results.

This Might Be You...

You’re in the weeds.

Your vision is clear, but managing the details to get there isn’t where your time is best spent.

You’re overwhelmed.

You need someone to internalize your strategy, build systems, and take work off your plate.

You need to connect dots.

To advance your vision, you need help creating alignment across teams and managing communication.

Testimonial

“As my Chief of Staff, Rachel quickly became my trusted advisor given her diverse skillset and in-depth knowledge of our team’s needs. She’s thoughtful, strategic, adept at managing large scale processes, and knows how to coach executives to spend time where they’re needed most. Her leadership was critical in not just stabilizing our team during a time of significant change, but in supporting me as I led our region.”

Dr. Adele Fabrikant - Former Executive Director, D.C. Region, Teach For America

TALENT & PEOPLE

Elevating Your Hiring Journey

Connecting talent to opportunity is my first love. As a former recruiter and hiring manager, I can help you focus on the WHO (identifying top talent for your short and long term needs) along with the HOW (building a hiring process that’s seamless, candidate centric, and equitable).

This Might Be You...

You’re hiring fast.

You need a hiring process that’s efficient AND finds the best hire.

You want a diverse team.

You need help defining the gaps, identifying talent partners, and building authentic relationships for future hiring needs.

You want to hire inclusively.

You could use someone to coach your recruiters, interviewers and hiring managers on tangible ways to do this.

Testimonial

“Rachel was more than a recruiter for our sales team – she was a strategic talent advisor. She sat on the sales floor with us, shadowed calls, and internalized our business in a way that demonstrated a true understanding of the talent we needed. She pushed us to prioritize DE&I in our searches, and we trusted her expertise because she took the time to learn our organization.”

Jennifer King, Senior Director of Sales at DoorDash, former Head of Sales at Google

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Expertise That’s Targeted
and Nuanced

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) is the lens through which all of my services are completed. But, sometimes, DE&I requires an intentional and strategic focus. I’ve led a diverse set of large scale DE&I initiatives across multiple industries. Let’s partner on how we bring this to life for your organization.

This Might Be You...

DE&I feels daunting.

DE&I isn’t always easy to discuss or implement, especially in our current political climate. When done right, the work is systemic and nuanced…but it doesn’t have to be scary.

You want to take action.

We can diagnose areas of opportunity and move you from performative action to meaningful impact.

You believe everyone belongs.

Too often, attention is paid to bringing people into organizations, not what makes them stay. Together, we can chart a path forward.

Testimonial

“There are very few people I’ve worked with over the course of my career that have the visionary muscle to deeply root in future aspiration around equity, in particular, and build an aggressive yet feasible plan to get there. Rachel’s exceptional influencing skills, thoughtful approach to stakeholder and project management, and commitment to establishing accountability measures have allowed her to drive significant impact.”

Dwetri Addy - VP People, Stitch Fix
