Director

Rachelle joined the Equitas Care Ltd Board in November 2023. She is a member of the Institute of Directors and holds post graduate qualifications in management and cross cultural studies.

Rachelle is an experienced professional services firm manager who has held business development and senior leadership positions for 10+ years in six medium to large law firms across New Zealand, and in Australia. She is experienced in quality management, health and safety, people and capability, strategic planning, board operations and governance.

Passionate about diversity and inclusion outcomes in business, Rachelle has a rather eclectic portfolio of directorship, board and community relations positions, including a position as Trustee at Kilmarnock Enterprises Trust. 

One of her teenagers has special needs and is non-verbal so she has empathy with vulnerable individuals and their whanau. Rachelle’s personal values align closely to those which drive the vision of Equitas and she is delighted to serve an organisation where rehabilitation, independence and personal goal setting provides the basis for all service delivery.
