“Rachel is known for her exceptional ability to cultivate
meaningful relationships with customers, partners, and the people
she leads. Her exceptional track record speaks volumes about her
ability to navigate complex challenges while fostering an
environment of inclusivity and innovation,” said Todd. “Rachel’s
dedication to change management, value realization, and driving
tangible business outcomes will be a tremendous asset for UKG as we
continue to grow and scale our business.”
Barger joins UKG at a time of exciting growth, as the company
now has more than 80,000 organizations worldwide and has been named
to the Fast Company Brands That Matter list. Additionally, the
company’s commitment to its Partner for Life promise has
resulted in several awards and accolades for its differentiated
customer experience (CX) model, which is designed to instill
customer confidence, accelerate value, and build great workplaces
through technology built for all.
“I’ve always been passionate about helping organizations succeed
through technology transformation, and that’s something UKG does
extremely well,” said Barger. “What I’m most excited about is the
opportunity to help create a great place to work for tens of
thousands of organizations around the world. Improving the employee
experience by delivering innovation and driving inclusion at that
scale is thrilling, and absolutely what made me so excited to come
to UKG.”
Barger has deep go-to-market expertise with more than 20 years
focused on driving profitable growth and leading high-performing,
highly engaged teams across the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and
Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific regions. As SVP of the Americas at
Cisco — which recently ranked No. 2 overall on the 2024 Fortune
100 Best Companies to Work For® list by Great Place To Work® —
she is responsible for overseeing approximately $37 billion in
annual sales while leading a richly diverse and dynamic team of
6,500 employees across 35 countries. Barger is also the Global
co-Executive Sponsor of Women of Cisco and Americas Executive
Sponsor of Cisco Pride employee resource groups.
“UKG’s mission to inspire organizations to be a great place to
work through inclusive technology isn’t just a slogan, it’s at the
heart of its own culture,” said Barger. “It’s critically important
to me personally to work for a company that practices what it
preaches for its employees and its customers every single day.”
Prior to joining Cisco, Barger held pivotal leadership roles in
various sectors of the technology industry, including several
executive sales positions for SAP. Barger, who will be based at the
UKG headquarters office in Weston, Fla., holds an MBA from the
Australian Graduate School of Management (UNSW) and a B.S. in
Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware.
“Rachel embodies a growth mindset — something that is core to
our culture at UKG — and she consistently motivates and inspires
those around her,” continued Todd. “Rachel will bring together our
sales, marketing, and customer relationship management teams to
build a greater level of collaboration and optimization as we
double down on our focus on our customers.”
