Sandra Nalin

I met Rachel during our EMBA with Quantic and had the opportunity to work with her on several group projects. Her ability to organise, lead, support and stimulate was always impressive and shared by all the other group members! Her contribution in Financial and Strategy and her capability to have a global vision of a business plan have been fundamental for me. It was a real pleasure to learn with and from her!

I had the pleasure of working with Rachel at Bloombees both in her role as Technical Product Manager and Responsible for Quality Assurance. In that time I found Rachel to be a highly skilled individual who worked laterally across various disciplines to ensure our business goals were met. I would gladly recommend Rachel as a valuable addition to any tech team.
