Rachel isn’t your typical investor.
Rachel is a hands-on entrepreneur with a sharp eye for opportunity, a stomach for risk, and a deeply human approach to business. Her journey didn’t start in a boardroom — it began in everyday negotiations with toddlers, tenants, and tradesmen. From those humble beginnings, she’s grown into a seasoned operator, deeply involved in every stage of a deal — from underwriting and acquisition to asset management and eventual exit.
She learned early on that success isn’t about dominance — it’s about listening, understanding what people truly need, and crafting creative solutions that work for everyone involved.
She builds trust quickly, navigates complexity with ease, and does what she says she’ll do. And while not every deal has gone to plan, she’s the one who shows up when the others walk away.
Having built and exited multiple businesses, Rachel approaches every opportunity with an operator’s mindset — not just an investor’s lens. She leads with empathy, plans for volatility, and isn’t afraid to take decisive action when the moment calls for it. Whether it’s picking up the phone, pitching a bold idea, or rolling up her sleeves, she’s always ready to move the needle.
Her message to sellers, lenders, and investors is simple:
If there’s a way to make it work, Rachel will find it — and if not, she’ll tell you straight. Because in this business, certainty matters more than promises.
From the Finance World to Real Estate Operator
With nearly two decades of experience in the finance industry — much of it spent as the only woman in the boardroom — Rachel built her foundation on analysis, risk management, and creative negotiation. That background gave her the confidence and resilience to step into real estate with a sharp understanding of both people and deals.
She knows how to de-risk a transaction, manage high-stakes conversations, and lead with clarity and calm — even in uncertain times. Her approach is grounded in solving tough problems, structuring win-win outcomes, and building long-term value into every transaction.
Rachel is a straight-talking Aussie with a global mindset and a no-nonsense sense of humor, who is equally comfortable walking a job site in boots or whiteboarding a seller-financed capital stack. Having lived, worked, and invested across Australia, the U.S., the U.K., and Europe, Rachel knows how to get deals over the line.
