How I work.

I thrive on working with organizations who have the leadership, vision, and capacity to achieve their mission, only to find they are stuck at some point along that journey. I bring my experience and perceptive, analytical mind to sort out, prioritize, and tackle whatever is in your way... then together, we map out where you're going and get it done. Successfully.

Praise from clients and colleagues

  • One thing I liked most working with Rachel was her self-directness and her ability to prioritize our work. I found the experience working with Rachel enjoyable and educational. I would recommend Rachel to any organization that needs help with project management.
    — Laura Briggin, Director, United Cerebral Palsy Cypress School
  • Working with Rachel on high-visibility global projects in 2015 was an absolute joy. Her attention to detail, willingness to hear ideas, weighing the practicality of implementation, organizational skills, and her ability to get the job done are second-to-none.
    — Julie Wilder, Manager, Employee Impact Programs, Autodesk Foundation
  • Rachel [...] networked 1:1 with teams and stakeholders to create support where needed and got buy-in from stakeholders. Identifying the customer needs and key stakeholders is a key skill that she provides in working with cross functional, complex organizations [with] multiple owners and stakeholders of processes.
    — Alan Daly, Director, Contact Center Optimization at Autodesk
  • While I was at Autodesk, one project on which Rachel and I worked together was a high-profile global launch of new cloud-based services [with] key customer-facing [impact to] products, multiple web sites, and the back office. If this group could not agree, this critical project could have missed its launch date, with significant impact. The efficient way that Rachel coordinated disparate teams from Marketing, Development, and Support to collaborate, and her very effective leadership in presenting our findings to the Exec staff, resulted in the project staying on track and turned what might have been a tedious and contentious review into a win-win for all concerned.
    — Sandy Lurins, former Sr. Customer Experience Manager, Autodesk
