Rachel Wrobel
Director, Product Operations
Hello! I'm Rachel Wrobel (like, wrong or Wrangler -- silent W!)
I have my BS in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio State University.
I spent my first four years post-graduation with Dow Corning (Dow) as a Reliability Engineer (1 year) and an Application Engineer & Technical Support person (3 years) in the thermoplastics industry that supported the consumer electronics market.
I joined Tremco (Roofing) in January 2017 as a Project Engineer for the Rooftec Drying program. I spent a year working these projects in the office and in the field.
In 2018, I migrated to the roofing Product team, where I supported various areas (Codes & Approvals, retail pilots, Product Development, Product Complaints, and more). In 2020, I moved into a management position (Product Support Manager). Over the last four years, I've led the formation of our Data Science, Project Management, and Digital Solutions groups. As of April 2024, I'm the Director of Product Operations, which includes Rooftop Solutions, Data Science, Digital Solutions, and PMO.
Unapologetically, I'm a Smartsheet fan girl! I really enjoy process improvement opportunities and architecting solutions in Smartsheet to address these opportunities. I am passionate about generating clean, useful data that can help our groups make data-driven business decisions throughout our day!
I am a member of NWIR (National Women in Roofing) and really enjoy the connections I've made through this association, as well as the educational opportunities I've taken advantage of throughout the past seven years.
Additionally, I am the Project Manager for Tremco's DEI Council, where I help keep the initiatives and discussions documented and moving along.
That's my professional story so far! Outside of my professional identity, I am a mother to three young kiddos and a wife to my nerdy, racecar driving, Mechanical Engineer husband. I enjoy hiking, playing games, and trying out new recipes. I am a big Formula 1 fan, specifically a Lando fan!
A big thank you to Smartsheet for this incredible opportunity to speak at this year's ENGAGE! I can't wait to connect with all the new and existing Smartsheet fans and superusers!
