Rachel Eisaman with Joli Residential

00:00 /

Rachel (Johnston) Eisaman is Owner and Principle Project Director for Joli Residential. She grew up shadowing her contractor father in the workshop and in and out of houses he was building. It was in these early days that she learned to appreciate the work put behind the walls to make a house a home and developed a keen understanding for the importance of maintaining all elements of a home from foundation to roof and all the systems in between.

In 2004, she moved to Atlanta (after graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Forensic Anthropology) and took her interest in homes to a new level by pursuing a degree in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Atlanta. Over the past 8 years, Rachel has grown Joli Residential to now have two divisions, Concierge HOME and Concierge MOVE, and teams to handle all manner of homeowner headaches.

Her client list includes notable philanthropists, CEOs, and professional athletes. Rachel lives in Summerhill with her husband and is dedicated to the Atlanta community. When she is not making life easier for her clients, she is giving back to her community through board positions with ArtsATL, Design Collective, and Golf for the Kids.

ATDC Radio: Take 5 – Five Georgia Technology Startups Share Updates

August 21, 2020 by angishields

About Your Host

Jane McCracken returns to ATDC as a Startup Catalyst, having started her career here many years ago. She then moved into venture capital and investment banking both in the United States and Europe before joining an early-stage, medical diagnostics company as chief financial officer. During her time there, she raised $60 million and completed eight international acquisitions. The company was listed on both the London and Oslo stock exchanges.

Jane then worked with two venture-backed companies. She joined the founders of an online travel company as CEO, and took it from startup to the world’s second-largest hotel booking site before Travelocity acquired it. At the request of her venture investors, Jane then joined a computer games developer as CEO and turned around the faltering enterprise before it was sold to a NASDAQ-listed games company.

Most recently, Jane was CEO of an oncology-focused clinical research company, which grew from startup to a multinational firm with $15 million in annual revenue and offices across Europe and the United States. The company was financed through its own cash flow and was sold in early 2012 to a larger clinical research organization.

Jane continues to work with fast growing companies — in interim and full-time positions — as a consultant, board member, and angel investor. In addition, Jane has served on boards for public and private companies, as well as government-related and non-profit organizations. She is a frequent speaker and panelist at conferences, companies, and universities and is an active volunteer in her community. Jane obtained her bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest University and her master’s degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
