Bio
Chad Morris
I had the privilege of working with Rachel at Glatfelter. We hired her into a Raw Material Buyer role, and she reported to me for the better part of two years. From the first day, she jumped into the fray and made an immediate positive impact. Rachel possesses a solid understanding of manufacturing, planning, logistics, and systems. When combined with her incredible interpersonal talent, it is easy to understand how she was able to earn trust across the business in a very short time and sustain a good name. Rachel generates tremendous value in solving longstanding problems, seeking challenges, and pursuing opportunities well beyond her job description. She asks good questions, refuses to settle for status quo performance, and yet gracefully manages within and leads the business out of chaos. She is tough on issues but calming to her customers, and she handles herself well at all levels of the organization. Because of her ability to operate with minimal supervision, I was able to take on project work that would have been impossible otherwise. In addition, she made me a better person, communicator, manager, and leader, and she made our team much stronger. Based on 360 feedback, Rachel is viewed as a key resource, great hire, and very worthy investment. Her star is on the rise, and I appreciate the chance to learn from and support Rachel Brandenburg on her climb to CEO or anything else she decides to pursue.
