About Me

Rachel Dunbar

Hi, I’m Rachel Dunbar—a procurement leader, strategist, and lifelong learner dedicated to building meaningful relationships in both business and life. My professional journey has centered on driving organizational success through strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, and procurement leadership.

But beyond the boardroom, I’m also a mother, mentor, and storyteller—passionate about navigating the intersections of leadership, growth, and personal reflection.

Professional Journey

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with organizations to design and implement procurement strategies that deliver measurable value. My experience includes:

Strategic Sourcing

Leading initiatives that optimize costs while maintaining quality.

Supplier Partnerships

Building strong, sustainable relationships that extend beyond contracts.

Leadership

Guiding teams with empathy, clarity, and a focus on long-term growth.

Process Optimization

Creating efficient systems that align with organizational goals.

Personal Side

Outside of my professional work, I reflect deeply on the themes of leadership, motherhood, and personal development. Writing has become a way for me to connect with others on the journey of balancing ambition with authenticity, and professional growth with personal fulfillment.

I believe leadership isn’t limited to titles—it’s about how we show up in everyday life, whether in the workplace, at home, or in our communities.
