About me
“The most important things in life are the connections you make with others”- Tom Ford
As a passionate individual who enjoys helping brands grow, I couldn’t agree more. Through connections with others, we can learn, grow and succeed in everything that we do. I’ve spent most of my working life making and untiring connections as well as connecting others. I’m a versatile, self-motivated, proactive, extremely dedicated and focused person who can be trusted to deliver solutions and work on concurrent projects and programmes for your unique business.
I have achieved a great number of things and am truly proud of my diversified achievements. My passion originally was in performing and I attended a Performing Arts School in NYC and Sang with Alicia Keys Every day in High School. I’ve worked at Nickelodeon Casting for Viacom and at HBO Downtown Productions working on a TV Show. I have been fortunate to work with Deborah Feyerick – an American journalist and National Correspondent for CNN and CNN International.
I have travelled extensively and lived in Los Angeles for 12 years where I worked with the Snowboard, Surfing & Mountain Biking Industry out West. I worked as a publicist for A and B list celebrities in Los Angeles and have been fortunate enough to have walked the red carpet many times! I have experience in promotions and events, the offset printing industry and even waitressing and bartending in the HOTTEST spots in Hollywood (Saddleranch on Sunset). I also know a lot with over 10 years of experience in the food and beverage business.
This was where I found my one true calling, as I simply loved connecting with customers and making them happy. This would be the start of my customer communication journey.
I have lived in Dubai now for 15 years and I have a varied portfolio that includes; being a mentor for the Dubai Business Women Council and Reach Mentoring. Sales of luxury yachts to exclusive German coffee targeting local Emirati Weddings & hotels. I have a wide network of media contacts and operated a franchise (Just Falafel) in the UAE, US, KSA and Canada that won best SME in 2010. I was also the Marketing Director for Dell Software – Emerging Markets (80 Countries/7 Languages/ 16 Distributors) and built and sold my Social Network ‘Social Circles’ comprising over 15,000 ex-pats.
I’ve become a Global Business Presenter and helped numerous event participants connect and engage to help their personal brand grow digitally online. Ranging Industries from Education, Health, IT, VC Investments, Start Ups and Intermobility business events.
I have the credentials and as I ran my own business to help support other businesses grow since 2020, I know all too well the struggles that you are faced with.
So askRachel…and even if I don’t have the answer for you, you can bet your bottom dollar I KNOW someone who has! I have spent years connecting with like-minded individuals to create foolproof methods that will give your business the drive and ultimately, the success you are after.
