 “Rachael delivered an introductory talk on AI in recruitment at a round table we held for employers. She used her knowledge and experience to cover advances in AI and looking at the dangers and opportunities that AI offers, which sparked interesting discussions. We received positive feedback from delegates about the session.”

Jane Hatton, Founder/CEO - Evenbreak

“Rachael is also very knowledgeable in the field of technology and has helped us to ensure our way of working is truly accessible for our completely remote team. Things I had previously thought weren't possible for a digital marketing agency, such as truly flexible working (working at any point in the 24/7 timescape) are now our way of life.”

Sophie Turton, Founder - Electric Peach

“Rachael is an expert consultant and an excellent collaborator that brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to any project. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Rachael on previous successful campaigns and look forward to doing so again in the future.”

Emma Gardner, Co Founder- With Not For

"We worked with Rachael to develop our approach, thinking and policies around the use of AI at Patchwork Hub. She brought a wealth of knowledge to the work across accessibility, emerging technologies and how those topics interact - such an important area for the coming years. As a result of our work together, we now have far greater clarity and confidence in our approach to this vital topic, setting us up for long-term success."
