Strategy. Process. Communication.

Rebecca Abernathy

I’m a Product Operations Certified leader with over 15 years of experience in B2B SaaS environments, most of it in the healthcare space. I thrive in collaborative, goal-driven spaces, fueled by morning coffee, kindness, and my love for connecting work tasks to the bigger picture. I’m especially passionate about effective communication as a force multiplier, coaching individual contributors into great leaders, and building high-performing teams that deliver exceptional results.

Take some time to explore my writing, resume, and work samples. I hope that you find them interesting. And if anything sparks your curiosity, please reach out and tell me about it!

My Story

I live in Baltimore, MD, with my dog, Margaret. Career-wise I’ve done everything from drive an ice cream truck to help scale a tech startup. In whatever role I’ve held, I owe my success to an ability to process large amounts of information quickly, a willingness to experiment–and fail– occasionally, and a belief that my role as a leader isn’t to manage tasks but is to help people find their potential.

However circuitous my career path may seem, at the heart of everything I do is a focus on communication and how it can clarify, optimize, and improve operations. I get energized by learning how things work and finding ways to make them work better. I truly enjoy process analysis and value the power of a well-constructed list.

You’ll often catch me making a joke to lighten the mood or sharing something interesting I found online. You’ll sometimes catch me in an airport or loading up my car for some adventurous travel. And you’ll never catch me far from a cup of coffee.
