LGC Stories | Meet Rachel Martin, Executive VP of Operations<\/b><\/h3>\n

Over her 14 years with LGC, Rachel Martin has diligently worked her way up from Staffing Manager to Executive Vice President. As one of our longest-tenured team members, she\u2019s weathered countless staffing seasons, earned her place, and inspired others along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rachel grew up in the historic town of Mt. Vernon, Illinois, and attended Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where she earned a degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Forensics. Initially, her dream was to work in the Illinois State Police Forensics department, but after graduating in 2010, she discovered her true passion\u2014working for LGC.<\/span><\/p>\n

She began her journey as an Assistant Staffing Manager in St. Louis and was quickly promoted to Branch Manager. In this role, Rachel had the opportunity to travel between offices, leading training sessions and playing a key role in enhancing LGC\u2019s operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her hard work didn\u2019t stop there. She was promoted to Area Manager, overseeing three offices: St. Louis, Denver, and Atlanta. Then, in 2015, a big change was on the horizon\u2014Rachel relocated to Indianapolis, where she was promoted to Vice President of Operations and later joined our Executive team.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Executive VP, Rachel takes great pride in her role and the work she does to keep the company moving forward. She says:<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am proud of the role I hold and how I help assist the company in everything operations to keep us moving forward.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like any professional journey, Rachel\u2019s climb hasn\u2019t been without its challenges. She believes that mistakes are an inevitable\u2014and valuable\u2014part of the process, helping us learn and grow. She offers this advice:<\/span><\/p>\n

“As you grow in your role, it gets harder, but it\u2019s more rewarding when you succeed. My advice? When things feel tough, that\u2019s when you have the greatest potential to grow.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, it helps to have a strong team behind you and mentors to guide you along the way. Rachel credits George Lessmeister for playing a pivotal role in her growth:<\/span><\/p>\n

“[He] has been one of the best mentors in my current role. He\u2019s taught me everything I know about business and how to be a leader.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Outside of work, Rachel enjoys spending time with family and friends, trying new things, being outdoors, binging Netflix series, and doting on her chihuahua, Rylie. She\u2019s also a huge Taylor Swift fan and proudly displays an entire wall of Funko Pops in her office.<\/span><\/p>\n

At LGC, we\u2019re continually inspired by the leaders who shape our company and nurture our teams. Rachel has played an integral role in helping LGC grow into who we are today, fostering the growth of countless individuals along the way. Let Rachel\u2019s passion and determination inspire you to grow within your role\u2014or, if you\u2019re ready, join our team and start your journey with LGC!<\/span><\/p>\n
