After 17 years in media sales, I thought success meant grinding harder and steering the ship alone.

Then I looked around at the CROs I admired—brilliant, well-paid executives who looked… haggard. Burnt out. Like they’d lost their spark somewhere between board meetings and impossible targets.

That’s when it hit me: the system was broken. And I’d lived it.

I spent those 17 years running into obstacles that shouldn’t have existed, feeling like a one-woman show when sales should have been a team sport. I watched talented leaders march in place, trying the same patch-job solutions while the real problems—misaligned departments, broken attribution, CROs and CMOs working against each other—went unfixed.

For the past 7+ years, my team and I have been fixing foundations, not symptoms.

At RevUp Advisory, we take B2B businesses from duct-taped growth to marketing and sales alignment that actually works. We create cohesion between departments that have been at war, align everything with executive vision, and build operational excellence that turns chaos into consistent revenue.

Here’s the truth: we often rip out bad consulting work first. Everyone says they can drive more sales. But saying it and delivering sustainable results? Two very different things.

The transformation? Those scathing emails from bosses stop coming. Pipeline reports finally line up. Attribution makes sense. And instead of being seen as “that hopeless department,” you’re respected as the strategic partner you always were.

Because here’s what I’ve learned: companies should work smarter, not harder. And when you fix the foundation instead of patching the cracks, everyone gets their spark back.

Ready to stop the patch-jobs and actually scale?

If the word “networking” makes your stomach flip, you’re not alone.


╰┈➤ You’re smart, accomplished, and great at your job—but when it comes to talking about yourself, it gets... awkward.
╰┈➤ You’ve been told “just go to more events,” but you leave feeling drained instead of connected.
╰┈➤ You’re launching something new, switching careers, or stepping into leadership—and your network isn’t where you need it to be.
╰┈➤ You want to connect with people more intentionally, but the small talk kills your soul a little. 

I get it. 

Networking isn’t a personality trait—it’s a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened. Networking wasn’t something I was born loving either. It’s something I learned to love because I had to.

I’m Rachel Rozen, Networking Coach and founder of Connection Catalyst. I coach individuals, teams, and companies to make networking feel less icky and more aligned. I help people show up with confidence, start better conversations, and build relationships that actually stick. 

Whether you're growing a business, navigating a transition, building your personal brand, or managing a team, I help make networking feel less performative and more authentic. 

Not everyone wants to “work the room,” and that’s okay. There’s another way to build meaningful, lasting professional relationships—and I’m here to show you how. 

I’ve worked with professionals across industries and career stages—from introverts in job search mode to executives leading global teams. My approach blends facilitation, storytelling, and strategy, shaped by my background in hospitality, food tech, and people-first leadership (SHRM-CP certified). 

Yes, I once had 300 one-on-one meetings in a single year to explore what was next for me. Spoiler alert: it changed everything.

Here’s how we can work together:
• Group and 1:1 coaching for professionals who want a better way to build visibility, opportunities, and support
• Workshops for companies and communities looking to increase collaboration and connection
• Speaking engagements that inspire people to show up differently—and actually enjoy networking

Chief is a private network designed specifically for senior women leaders — rising VP level through CEO. While our members are used to being the only woman in the room, Chief membership offers the solidarity, ally-ship, and cross-industry idea pollination they want and need to stay and thrive at the peak of their careers.

As an active member, I’ve stepped in to lead a Startup Mini-Squad Cohort group. As such, I facilitate Zoom meetings with other Startup leaders and guide them to achieve their goals. My perspective is that diversity of thought is key! Everyone should be involved in bringing topics/challenges/ideas to the conversation.
