My guest this episode is Rachel Wilson Rugelsjøen who is the Founder
and MD of Level Up HR, a HR consultancy helping businesses and HR
functions to level up and get results through people who thrive.
However, Rachel's back story is a truly fascinating one.
Having done a Psychology degree and then a Masters in HRM, Rachel did a
one-year study internship at Copenhagen Business School. Here she met
her now husband and decided to try and get her first HR role in Norway
rather than returning to the UK. However, this was significantly more
challenging than she had anticipated but ultimately she got there.
Eventually Rachel and her husband did relocate back to the UK and she
was headhunted for a Senior HR role with Merrill Lynch whilst still
relatively early in her career. From there Rachel has gone on to work
for some huge, global organisations such as Barclays Capital, Cognizant
and The Norwegian Oil Fund.
Rachel shares some incredible insights during our conversation and she
is a truly inspirational HR professional. This one isn't to be missed!
