In Episode #89, Ross is joined by Rachel Gogel, Independent Design Executive and Educator

Rachel Gogel is an independent design executive whose work is informed by her experiences both in-house and agency side. Since founding her solo consultancy in 2020, she's worked as a fractional creative leader, embedding with organisations at an executive level on a part-time basis. Rachel has partnered with global companies such as Airbnb and Dropbox, and women-founded ventures like Chicken & Egg Films and Anew. Before going independent, she built multidisciplinary teams at GQ, The New York Times, Facebook, and Godfrey Dadich Partners. The through-line? Rachel specialises in inflection points, steering strategic change at the intersection of brand, culture, and technology.

Ross and Rachel discuss why fractional leadership works, how an outsider’s perspective inspires creativity, and why making flexible employment decisions supports growth and financial fruitfulness.
