Rachel's Journey
After 6 years as Chief Executive Officer of AnneeLondon, Inc, I exited my CEO and founder role of a consumer goods and manufacturing startup in the outdoor industry. I raised $500k in investment capital never having done that before while filing global patents and building a team of top experts in product development. I earned an MBA in innovation management and entrepreneurship from Drexel University as I launched my venture and single handedly raised half a million dollars in capital. I also earned my master’s in clinical psychology, which aids my work as an executive coach since 2012. As a coach, I consult corporate and startup leaders at a diverse array of brands in tech and retail such as Gilt Groupe, Anthem, Saks, the Swatch Group, and Amphetamobile.
