Raquel is a born entrepreneur and pioneer, with the courage to explore new ventures and possibilities. She has a great network of contacts and top communication and negotiation skills, which enables her to make new projects come to life with excellence. She puts her heart into every project she works on, and this passion and enthusiasm reflect in the results she delivers to her clients.

Sandra Martyn

Dedicated, hardworking, and enthusiastic. Raquel would be an asset for any organization, with a great deal of experience. Willing to learn, and equally willing to share her experience and knowledge with others.

Reza Motalebpour

I've been collaborating with Raquel for the past 3 years in the Startup space, and she is one of the few contacts in the industry who really understands the 'Canadian Startup' industry. She has always been passionate about all the projects she has handled and truly believes and supports her clients. I would recommend any Startup and Accelerator to utilize Raquel's experience to scale their operations.
