Rachel Davis-Schultz, EVP, CopperPoint Insurance Companies

BACKGROUND: Rachel Davis-Schultz joined CopperPoint in 2019 and is currently the Executive Vice President, Chief HR Officer & Enterprise Operations. Davis-Shultz has more than 20 years of human resources experience including employee relations, benefits, training, culture and transformation. She’s helped navigate several major acquisitions and successful integrations and has led teams experiencing significant organic and inorganic growth. 

SOURCE OF PRIDE: “I’m proud of the work I’ve done in response to COVID-19.  From the meeting I hosted in March, 2020 to those I’m hosting now to return our teams to the office, I’ve led a task force that has provided direction and assistance to employees for two years.”

SURPRISING FACT: “I went to high school with a member of a famous boy band — we were in advanced choir together.  Neither the choir, nor the boy band, could distract me from my love of 90’s rap music — then and now.”

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “CopperPoint is over 60% female, so I am surrounded by brilliant women every day and have been throughout my career.  Currently, I draw my biggest inspiration from my colleague, Sara Begley. She is supportive, caring and brilliant. She is my lighthouse in the storm and my emotional support attorney.”
