"Rachel is a highly customer-focused leader, has a wealth of retail experience and an ability to actively balance a tactical nature with deep strategic advisory capabilities."

JASON JUDD, CFO JUSTICE

Klarna has been experiencing explosive growth and was taking on the challenge of expanding into stores. We needed a retail veteran who could come in, work alongside us to quickly scale our processes, and help get us on the path to win. Rachel seamlessly fit into our extremely hyper-paced start up, got to work and became a core part of our strategy team. As a leader, I could not have asked for a better counterpart to take the vision forward.

MELISSA DONOHUE, DIRECTOR OF SERVICE DELIVERY, KLARNA

 

Rachel is an incredible operator with a passion for getting things done. While having a command of the daily detail, she has the ability to think strategically with an eye on moving an organization forward.

"Of the many capable leaders I have worked with, few have the perfect combination of strategic vision, leadership style, execution ability and passion to deliver results – Rachel Williamson is one of those special leaders who does."

MARK RYSKI, CEO HEADCOUNT CORPORATION

Rachel is an amazing coach, mentor and leader of retail stores. Her operational expertise is second to none and her people management even better. I worked with Rachel during one the most difficult times in retail. Her ability to calm the field and focus on customers was heroic. Her integrity and candor are incredible human qualities.

To my Fellow Retailers: While we’re stuck at home trying to figure out how to maintain our sanity it’s a great time to think out what happens when we open back up. This FREE information session was what I needed to help me jump start my thought process on what I’ll do before and after I unlock my doors next time. These inspiring ladies have one more session available today at Noon EST. Take advantage. Thank you Rachel Williamson – Retail Expert, Darlene Y Mitchell , and DeAnna McIntosh for the positivity, humor, and humanity!
