About

Rachel Roxburgh

I’m a coalition builder who brings together the people, partnerships and ideas needed to solve complex challenges and create lasting systems change.

For more than 25 years, I've worked at Executive level to help organisations navigate growth, transformation and complexity. From scaling Race for Life into a £60m national movement at Cancer Research UK, to founding and growing Dallaglio RugbyWorks into a nationally recognised charity, my career has been about translating ambitious ideas into lasting impact.

Today, I work with CEOs, Boards and Executive Leadership Teams to shape strategy, build sustainable partnerships, drive organisational transformation and create funding models that support long-term growth. I also Chair Trekstock Cancer Support, helping shape the future of support for young adults living with and beyond cancer.

I believe the biggest challenges are solved through collaboration. My passion lies in bringing together businesses, government, philanthropy and communities to create the conditions for meaningful systems change.
