Rachel Slattery

As a Project Manager, I lead the end‑to‑end delivery of complex learning, leadership, and capability‑building programmes for global clients.

Favourite learning moment


Through close collaboration with DHL Global Forwarding Freight, I’ve developed an understanding of Life Sciences and Healthcare, and the significant real‑world impact this project has. Being part of work that genuinely makes a difference is so rewarding, and I love knowing I get to play a small role in that.

I’ve recently led on projects for DHL Global Forwarding Freight, DHL Supply Chain, DHL eCommerce and IAG Cargo.

My experience

With a degree in English Literature and a diploma in Musical Theatre, alongside a varied career history, I didn’t expect to become a Project Manager. However, the experiences I’ve gained have proved invaluable in my role at NKD. Strong communication, creativity, organisation, and stakeholder awareness underpin everything I do, enabling me to manage complex projects, collaborate confidently with diverse teams, and deliver high‑quality learning experiences with clarity and care.
