Helping Founders & Solopreneurs Scale To Predictable $15K Months | “The Sales Psychologist™ | $25M+ Closed | Elegant Conversion™ Method

I help senior leaders turn decades of boardroom wins into six-figure advisory businesses--built for true freedom, fulfillment, and a life you actually want.

After leading $150M+ sales teams at Oracle, Workday, and HP, 
I realized success isn’t another promotion--or a packed calendar.

It’s owning your time, income, and where (and how) you live.

My clients aren't chasing "busy."
They want a business as bespoke as their achievements--and a lifestyle that feels as rich as the career they've built.

How I Help Leaders

→ Package hard-earned expertise into premium advisory offers ($10K–$30K+)
→ Create time, travel, and income flexibility--built around life, not work
→ Work with select, premium clients from anywhere in the world

What You’ll Leave Behind

✖ Burnout, busywork, endless meetings
✖ The corporate grind that drains your energy--and limits your options

What you gain:
💼 Six-figure deals, on your terms
🌍 Freedom -- of time, income, and where you live (whether that's a villa in Tuscany, a flight to Japan, or time with loved ones)
✨ A business and lifestyle that reflect success as you define it--and feel like you again

As an Italian-American dual citizen, I travel to Europe often and run my six-figure advisory practice from wherever feels inspiring—Italy, North Carolina, anywhere adventure calls.

I work with Directors, VPs, and CxOs who want more:
More income. More time. More living.

Why Me

→ Led $150M+ sales teams for global tech giants
→ Guided 400+ executives (Microsoft, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs) to autonomy and growth
→ Built my own six-figure advisory working between Italy and North Carolina

A first-generation Latina looking to make a positive change in the world. One voice at-a-time. One story at-a-time. One connection at-at-time.  Based in Houston, Raquel has dedicated herself to healthcare advocacy and healthcare education for the last 12 years. 

Having a multi-lingual background, she has been able to expand her reach by educating different neighborhood groups around the Houston area. Through her efforts, many members of the communities who otherwise would go without proper health care have benefitted from her advocacy and received health services.  Her efforts have decreased the high percentage of members who go without basic health needs. 

She works directly with state, city, county, and other local officials to educate communities on important health topics. Raquel is also involved in active research in partnership with various entities such as her world-renowned alma mater Texas A&M University, BakerRipley, and the City of Houston.  This active research aims to identify the external environmental factors which may cause physical stressors on the elderly when participating in physical activities within their communities. Based on the results of the research, enhancements will be made to improve the neighborhood surroundings to be more age-friendly. 

Raquel possesses excellent leadership skills and is looking forward to building a coachable team that will increase the reach potential thus expanding the efforts of her "Mission with a vision". She looks forward to empowering women and contribute globally to spread her message of love and kindness to the world.

Raquel has called Houston her home for the last 30 years. She is a sports enthusiast and labels herself "gung-ho" about all things "Aggies".  Avid salsa dancer. Foodie. Lives with her furbabies and children. Enjoys the beach and quality time exploring the city and seeking adventures. Raquel is currently working on publishing her book and looks forward to sharing her life journey through speaking engagements.

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.
