She is also a board member of Nisbets, the privately owned catering equipment business, chairing its Digital and Marketing Committee. Rakhi recently completed a distinguished nine-year tenure on the boards of Rightmove and Kingfisher, where she served on Audit, Remuneration and Responsible Business Committees and helped shape strategy, governance and digital transformation through periods of significant change.

Rakhi’s executive career was built at Amazon, where she spent more than 12 years and served on the UK Executive Team with P&L responsibility across a wide range of categories, from high-growth digital segments to more mature, operationally complex businesses. She played a central role in the launch of new digital categories and in leading the transition from physical to digital media, bringing together commercial acumen, deep analytics and disciplined execution. As UK lead for pricing, she established Amazon’s first formal UK pricing policy and developed the company-wide approach to competitive price matching, reinforcing her reputation for data-driven, customer-focused decision-making. Applying Amazon’s leadership principles and using them as a lens for hiring and talent assessment was a core part of her management approach and continues to inform her boardroom contributions.

Earlier in her career, Rakhi worked in strategy consulting at Oliver Wyman and in start-up environments, giving her early exposure to growth, innovation and entrepreneurial cultures. She has also contributed to education as a Governor of Lambrook School in Berkshire.
