Rachel O’Sullivan

Partner

​I’m Rachel, a Board Director at bpe search, with a first-class reputation across the retail, DTC, leisure, and travel sectors. I specialise in marketing, digital, commercial and HR leadership, working with a diverse range of clients, from major heritage brands to emerging scale-ups and disruptors. My work has also helped many individuals successfully transition between these worlds, creating opportunities that shape careers and drive business growth.

Known for challenging traditional thinking, I bring a fresh perspective to every search, ensuring my clients’ criteria align with the changing demands of today’s market. I’m particularly proud of my track record in championing women in leadership roles, helping to create more inclusive and balanced executive teams. This approach reflects my belief that great leadership starts with diverse and innovative talent.

Throughout my career, I’ve built strong, lasting partnerships based on an honest, consultative approach and a relentless work ethic. These qualities have made me the go-to recruitment partner for businesses looking to secure transformational leaders and for candidates seeking a trusted advisor to guide their next move.

    ​Working with Rachel is like having an extended part of your internal team. It doesn't feel like a transactional relationship in any way. Rachel manages to find the balance between being extremely professional and excellent at her job while at the same time being so personable and down to earth.  I'd certainly recommend working with her if you want a partnership which always leads to a great result. ​
