Testimonials

Board Search

  • “Talking through ideas, it was clear Rachel could find us someone with real tech industry knowledge, who could also bring a wider commercial background to the board. We were in the strong position of having a tough choice to make between three great candidates.”

    Chair, Global Investment Bank

  • “Rachel has a rare gift for matchmaking and can read a person in an instant. She provided invaluable counsel in our Chair search. She also used her network discreetly to take honest views on candidates that really helped us short-list and then ultimately make the right choice.”

    Co-Founder + CEO, Consumer Tech Company

  • “Very grateful to Rachel for helping us to engage with Board advisors. I've been impressed by how she is trusted by the most senior leaders in business and government. Rachel helps them navigate the very different cultures and opportunities at some of the best founder-led companies.”

    Co- Founder + CEO, FinTech Unicorn

  • “Before we pressed the button on a senior digital appointment, we wanted to understand the marketplace and the kind of skills we’d need. We wanted to know what we didn’t know. Rachel mapped out the talent for us, including companies and tech skills we would never have thought of. Her creative approach challenged our thinking and has led us to make a really strong hire who we know will take the company in new directions.”

Coaching

    Director, Global Tech Company, Europe

  • “Getting my first NED role had been on my agenda for a long time, but I’d convinced myself it was out of reach. Rachel coached me to overcome my qualms, gave me confidence for interviews and guided me through the whole process. I can’t thank her enough for supporting me.”

    Non-Executive Director, FTSE 100, UK

  • “Rachel’s approach gave me further confidence in my skills, strengths and to see my blind spots - and to realise the depth of my market expertise. We developed a clear plan to land a new Chair role and she enabled me to be more ambitious and clear headed. I'm now chairing three businesses and feel excited and energised by career events ahead."
