About Rachel Garrett
I spent the better part of a decade at Shopify across three distinct eras: part of a pioneering team that made remote-first work before the rest of the world thought it was possible, through rapid global scale building teams of more than 800 people across twelve countries, and into the AI transformation. I have implemented AI at international scale, AI that has changed business results. I know what it takes, what works, and what doesn't.
Before Shopify, I was part of the senior leadership team at Trade Me, and before that, operational and change management roles across financial services and health. More than two decades at the intersection of people, performance, and change, in organisations moving fast, under pressure, through uncertainty. That experience shapes everything I do now.
What I believe
"I'm an accredited coach and a trained mediator. But the thing that has shaped my work most isn't a credential. It's having led at scale, through real pressure, in organisations that were moving faster than most people around me thought was possible."
"High performance and genuine humanity are not in conflict. The organisations and leaders who will thrive in the next decade are the ones who understand that."
