About the author
Rachel Marano
Rachel's career spans more than 25 years in business. With a degree in computer science, she started on the technology side, including hands-on software implementation.
She founded Pivot Point Consulting in 2011 and helped build it into a business with ~$100 million in revenue, navigating capital raises, mergers, private equity transactions, and organizational transformation.
