Rachel’s journey is a story of resilience, passion, and unwavering commitment to inclusion.

At 17, a life-changing riding accident resulted in a spinal injury, challenging her to navigate a world not designed with everyone in mind. Through this transformative experience, Rachel developed a profound strength and a dedication to breaking barriers—personally and professionally.

Her introduction to the events industry marked the start of a dynamic career that fused her fascination with people, cultures, and creativity. Over the past 20 years, Rachel has held senior leadership roles in global companies, managing multi-national teams and delivering large-scale programmes worldwide. Yet, her focus has always been on more than just outcomes—it’s been about creating environments where everyone’s voice matters.

Rachel’s lived experience gives her a unique perspective on inclusion. From understanding the challenges of living with a disability to successfully navigating neurodivergence within her own family, Rachel brings both empathy and authenticity to every interaction. Her curiosity about people’s stories and her drive to see meaningful change guide everything she does.

One pivotal work trip to India transformed Rachel’s worldview. Witnessing stark contrasts in access and opportunity deepened her resolve to challenge inequality and create spaces where differences are celebrated, not just accommodated.

Beyond her corporate achievements, Rachel has left a lasting impact on the world of para-sport. As a para-athlete, she competed for Team GBR in world championships, earning multiple titles. As a coach and mentor, she has guided athletes to international success and chaired a charity supporting independent carriage driving for over 20 years, empowering individuals to thrive through sport.

Whether through public speaking, mentoring, or consulting, Rachel is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion. Her mission is clear: to help individuals and organisations see the world through an inclusive lens and create lasting change.
