About Rachel

My professional experience spans a number of industries. I started in the auto industry, in collections and progressed to credit. I moved into finance and capital allocation in a multi-billion dollar IT company. From there I returned to transportation however I moved into the commercial side, covering collections, audit and credit again, working through multi-million dollar approvals, dealer audits and collections. I lead many employees to improve their collections and credit experience and consistently had the lowest delinquency ratios with the highest closing ratios on credit deals.
Returning to the IT industry I transitioned to leading Quality and a Quality Program Manager, assisting the Healthcare industry to improve its quality in a specific software product. From here I moved to my current position as a Technical Consultant / Project Manager within Airline Disaster Recovery.
I truly enjoy the variety of the daily work, the ability to work with a global team and need to deliver against demanding deadlines.
