When CEOs Find the Right Partner

“While I was in Boston at HubSpot’s head office, I had the chance to meet Rachel in person, and she is a fireball! Thanks to her keeping her company virtual, Rachel has succeeded in creating an incredibly profitable company. Having masterminded with Rachel a number of times, I can assure you that her ideas are well worth listening to.”
Trent Dyrsmid

“Rachel has a very engaging way of explaining the goal of what we are trying to achieve and then making it easy for us to get to the answers. I can still see the faces of each of us at the end of the meeting, everyone comes out of that room as a HERO.”
Chuck Melton

“Rachel, to me, is this bad-ass bombshell that is ready to take on the world. Her ability to speak so calmly and intelligently on nearly any topic amazes me. Her passion for humans and the world we live in is sincere and palpable. She makes me want to be a better human. The things she has overcome and accomplished would overwhelm most anyone, yet here she is, ready to share and help others grow and learn from her experiences.”
