FRACTIONAL OPERATING PARTNER

The operator
behind operators.

I partner with the CEOs & investors of professional & consumer services businesses to turn proven capability into enterprise value.

I take businesses that have proven something works and turn that proof into enterprise value

An operating partner who runs the play.

Most fractional execs fix the P&L or fix the growth engine. My specialty is at the intersection.

I came up through P&L leadership at Apple and PE- and VC-backed consumer brands, then ran revenue as a founder and fractional exec in digital.

Today I run Linder Global, an operating partner firm that works with professional services businesses and the investors backing them to turn around, grow and prepare for sale underperforming mid-market businesses.

We build the operating systems that move EBITDA and growth together in companies where brand, margin, and performance need to move in sync.

High-integrity. High-performing. Love building businesses that win. If that’s you — let’s build.

What I DO

Operational Turnaround

I find what’s actually blocking profit and enterprise value — across P&L, people, process, and platforms — and fix it. Not a deck. Not a roadmap that sits on a shelf. The work.

Growth & GTM

I rebuild the revenue engine end-to-end: positioning, funnel, paid media, lifecycle, sales motion. Deep operator-level fluency in growth marketing and AI-enabled GTM — not just oversight of an agency.

Fractional Exec & Deal Support

I step in as fractional operating partner for founders scaling past their capacity or investors who need an operator inside their portfolio. Pre-deal diligence, post-close integration, value creation, exit prep.

Most things that look like strategy problems are execution problems. Most things that look like growth problems are operating problems. The work is in the seam.

We’re a good match if…

You aren't crystal clear on the top 3 levers of your operating model
Your revenue streams are fragile or inconsistently profitable
You lack confidence about where sales & marketing dollars should go to make the biggest impact on your top line
Your business has outgrown your team
Your execution lacks process and SOPs
Your tech stack is weak and used inconsistently
Your leadership team struggles to make hard, but necessary on team, customers, or service line rationalization
You're a founder or investor team ready to scale past founder capacity
You've just closed a round of capital

I cannot thank you enough for the encouragement, pushes and sounding board moments. You challenged me and held the mirror for me -- no wonder your arms are so toned!

Senior Executive, Apple

You are one of the most important, effective and amazing people I’ve ever worked with. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Jon S

Series-B Founder

You slice to the jugular of a problem with a point to bring clarity and value to all. I am beyond inspired by your ability to diagnose a problem and bring a team together around the solution.

BJ S

Executive, Apple & Series B Co-founder

It's amazing to watch you work with people because you bring the best out of them. You're just such a great person, you have so much love to give, and you allow people to bring the most dynamic and fun parts of themselves out.

You are an absolute force and that what you put out into the world is felt deeply by the people fortunate enough to experience it.

About Rachel.

Rachel started her career in management consulting before moving into operating roles — first at Apple, then leading P&Ls across consumer and B2B businesses in hyper-growth and turnaround

She’s taken unprofitable businesses profitable, doubled top lines, raised VC capital, run P&Ls, managed teams from 1 to hundreds, and rebuilt growth engines from the funnel up.

She’s also worked on businesses that couldn’t get profitable and projects that failed.— which is where at least half of what she knows came from.

Today she runs Linder Global, working with lower middle market operators and investors as a fractional operating partner in operational turnaround, GTM rebuilds, and deal support.

Her signature? Taking businesses that have proven something works and turn that proof into a system that creates enterprise value.

Most $5–30M businesses stall because the commercial side and the operating side aren't built together — and the gap between them is where capital burns and growth flatlines.

Proof is the start. Systems are the scale.
