It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with Rachel Hurst, the Chief Operating Officer of Domino Printing Sciences. She's understated, thoughtful, and nothing short of a trailblazer in her field. A successful woman in a male-dominated world, she has overcome obstacles and challenges to excel as she carved out her career in engineering.

Rachel has sat on the board of a FTSE 250 company, seen many acquisitions, and was part of a team that found a new parent company in Brother, which went on to acquire Domino to unlock huge market potential while maintaining its core values.

Rachel's story is a beacon of inspiration for those seeking personal and professional growth. Her journey is particularly empowering for female leaders, aspiring female engineers, and women in business. Despite her natural introversion and shyness, she's a leader who removes blockages and creates an environment for people to get things done.
