Rachel Stewart is the Executive Vice President of a $22 million restoration company and CEO of a software development company. Years earlier, she left college to support her husband’s career efforts and they started a family. When the 2008 economic downturn happened, her husband lost his job and overnight, they were facing serious financial uncertainty. Rachel had not worked outside the home in 5 years and felt unqualified for most jobs. They decided that she would return to work.
Rachel started her career as an unqualified office manager, but over the last decade became the Executive Vice President of a $22 million restoration company and the CEO of a software development company focused on getting contractors the technology tools they need. Over the years, she has learned that the only limitations to her success have been in her own mind.
