Rachel Slattery

Based in London, Rachel Slattery is a Partner in the Chair & Board Practice, specialising in non-executive appointments, including advisory boards.

For more than a decade she has advised boards across sectors, size of business and ownership structure and offers the experience of working with international clients from FTSE 100 to AIM-listed as well as privately owned businesses.

Much has changed during her board advisory career amidst increasingly rigorous corporate governance, enhanced investor scrutiny, improved workforce engagement and ongoing reflections on the role of business in society. Keeping ahead of these macro impacts whilst maintaining and extending relationships at board level is critical to success. Odgers Berndtson is accredited by BEIS under the Enhanced Code of Conduct for executive search firms, in recognition of our efforts at the forefront of helping boards enhance their gender diversity. Diversity of perspective is critical to achieving a well-functioning board and Rachel’s focus includes enhancing both ethnic and functional diversity in the boardroom.

She joined Odgers Berndtson in 2005 as a member of the industrial markets practice and has developed particular expertise in this sector whilst continuing to advise more broadly. Rachel began her executive search career in 2000. As a career headhunter, she has delivered successfully across the whole project life cycle. Following graduation with a degree in economics from Cambridge, Rachel began her career with Arthur Andersen in the private client services practice.
