Rae was a major accounts district manager for ADP and worked in various human resources positions at Maytag Corporation, including recruiting, compensation, organizational development, and employee training.
For most of Businessolver’s 21-year history, Rae has helped lead the organization’s strategy and growth, bringing us from a small SaaS start-up to a true market leader.

To achieve this, Rae has leveraged her strengths as a visionary—seeing where the market is and where it needs to go—as well as her leadership skills. She has continuously served as a strong role model and mentor for women in technology. One of her achievements is in the area of workplace empathy. A foundation of Businessolver’s platform is empathetic design focused on meeting the user where they are and addressing their specific needs. Under Rae’s direction, Businessolver has extended this focus with our annual State of Workplace Empathy Study, which looks at the connection between empathy and organizational success. As a result of this initiative, Businessolver has helped drive and contributed to the important conversation around empathy at work. In addition to guiding Businessolver’s product, marketing and operational functions, Rae created and continues to refine our unique organizational culture. This culture supports the creativity and focus on excellence that underpins and pervades our SaaS solution, and has directly contributed to our market leadership. Rae is articulate, intelligent, approachable, and visionary. She has boundless, contagious energy and exudes positivity, making newcomers and veteran employees feel welcome and valued. She is able to tease the best out of both technical and non-technical employees.
