Natalie Ruiz: What is your current job?

Rachel: CEO & Founder of Simple Switch

Natalie Ruiz: What do you love about it?

Rachel: I love so many things about my work, but the two things I love most are the fact that my work makes a direct social and environmental impact, and that I am constantly learning. These things fit in together really nicely because I find that when I’m able to learn a new technical skill and make the company more efficient, it lets me focus more time and energy on expanding our impact all over the world. I also feel extremely lucky that my work lets me be in contact with, partner with, and even sometimes visit ethical and impactful business leaders all around the world.
