About Rachel Rutherford

I began my career in Accounting - bounced between CPA firms and some Private Sector work before deciding “It’s not you, It’s me.” And yes, I did earn my CPA license but quit after 4 jobs in 5 years. 🤷‍After a quick career pause to be a Pilates Instructor, I found my calling… Sales.I’ve had the honor and pleasure to grow with a forward thinking company that challenges the status quo in the Employee Benefits space every day. ArmadaCare takes a fresh look at how companies are:Defining key employees, leadership, & executivesCompensating key employees & execsIntegrating benefits and compensation strategiesMy passion is challenging Benefit Consultants, HR, CEO’s, CFO’s, & Business Owners to think differently. Fortunately, ArmadaCare pays me to do that by selling “Executive” medical plans. Employee Benefit Consultants - you gotta show value and bring new ideas. This isn’t one to leave off your mid-year strategy decks HR, CEO’s, CFO’s - A base salary, bonus, and the same old primary medical plan your competition has isn’t getting you the talent you want or making them loyal. Stand out. Owners (partners & >2% shareholders)- you just need a more tax efficient way to pay for medical expenses.(Look… that Accounting background came in handy)Let’s all CHANGE PERCEPTIONS about Employee Benefits, Executive Medical, Compensation, and how we pay for out of pocket medical spend.
