Rachel Cornwall
Founder Rachel Cornwall is genuinely curious about what makes us all tick and absolutely committed to seeing people and organisations adapt and grow – that filters right across the team at Populous People.
Finding people, keeping people and seeing people, organisations, communities and our economy grow – that’s what gets Populous People out of bed each day.
“Where does that come from? My good old-fashioned work ethic, and genuine desire to do good! My origins are in small town provincial NZ, and I’m a proud Otago University graduate with a career that’s exposed me to broad range of corporate, commercial and community experiences, here in NZ and abroad. I’m a long-time fan of the pace and diversity of urban NZ, but I’m also an Auckland escapee now firmly nestled in Hawkes Bay.
Over the years I’ve been tempted to detour off into leadership roles, but I can’t go past the satisfaction of helping multiple businesses and communities achieve more, by partnering in people strategy. I can’t and won’t ever be able to shrug off my absolute determination to make sure small and large, start-up or established businesses, across all sectors and industries can source the talent, skills, expertise and leadership that is required to take them and their teams into the future.”
