about me

Hi, I’m Rachel O’Rourke—your calm in the chaos, your secret weapon behind the scenes, and your go-to for all the things that keep your business running (but shouldn’t be stealing your time).

I’ve spent over a decade supporting executives, scaling startups, running nonprofit organizations, and wearing all the hats to get businesses from “just an idea” to full-blown success stories. I’ve worked alongside founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to organize operations, manage communication, and bring structure to fast-moving environments—all with a blend of strategy, execution, and a lot of heart.

If you’re looking for someone who can think three steps ahead, make systems hum, and make your life easier without needing a ton of direction—you’re in the right place.

My experience

Executive Director of a Downtown Business Association, leading strategic planning, citywide events, community partnerships, and organizational operations

Global Director of Marketing & Communications for a high-growth energy startup, managing investor comms, brand development, and cross-functional initiatives

Fractional CMO & Startup Consultant, helping multiple startups go from zero to multimillion-dollar revenue through streamlined operations and brand strategy

Professional Speaker, Event Producer & Team Leader—I’ve managed people, platforms, and projects of all shapes and sizes

What I bring to the table

Executive-level communication (I know what to say, when to say it, and how to keep everything on track)
Proactive problem-solving (I anticipate what’s coming and handle it before you even know it’s an issue)
Systems thinking (I bring order, efficiency, and clarity to everything I touch)
Grace under pressure (High-stakes deadlines? Chaotic inbox? I’ve got you.)

I’ve also helped launch startups from scratch, created internal workflows for growing teams, and managed logistics for multimillion-dollar operations—all while making it look easy.
