5 fun facts about Rachel
- Tech sales as a woman? After a Commercial Traineeship, Rachel was refused a position in international sales because she didn’t speak any languages and “would never make it in tech sales as a woman”. Safe to say, we are glad Rachel did not listen to this advice.
- Dinner with King Charles: On a business trip to Portugal, Rachel was selected to meet HRH Prince Charles for a tour through the city, dinner, and drinks at the Ambassador’s residence. As a result, she appeared in a Portuguese boulevard magazine wondering who the mysterious blond with HRH was.
- Music is in her blood: Rachel is a direct descendant of the 17th-century English composer Henry Purcell and played his music at her wedding.
- Close to nature: Rachel grew up in rural Buckinghamshire playing on the farm and exploring the beaches of Devon and Cornwall. She still today enjoys spending time in the countryside.
- Love for Northern Lights: On her many trips to Scandinavia, Rachel loves to see Northern Lights and recommends everyone to go hunting for them – they are different every time you see them.
