Your Roadmap
to Mission-Critical Growth
Strategic growth operations partner for CEOs, CROs, and VPs of Marketing who want to drive measurable results. We help move the numbers that matter through business development, marketing, events, and educational programming designed for sustainable growth.
Built for Leaders Who Navigate Complex Growth
If you’re a CEO, CRO, VP of Marketing, or business development leader at a B2B or mission-driven organization—especially in geospatial intelligence, defense, regional economic development, technology, or professional services—you know that growth isn’t simple. It’s relationship-driven, high-stakes, and requires someone who understands the terrain.
That’s where we come in.
Strategic Thinking First
We ask the hard questions before discussing tactics: What growth goal does this serve? Who are the right people to reach? What partnerships should form? How will we measure impact?
Trust & Accountability
No vendors who vanish. No surprises on Sunday night. We deliver what we promise, keep you informed, and handle obstacles calmly so you stay focused on advancing your mission.
Your Curated Network
Access our ecosystem of best-in-class partners, exclusive venues, subject-matter experts, and deep industry connections for a powerful, global impact.
Fractional Growth Operations That Connect the Dots
Unlike agencies that focus on only one area such as events, marketing, or training, TEAM of Seven delivers a complete growth journey. We combine business development, marketing campaigns, events, educational programs, and market analysis into a single, cohesive strategy that drives measurable business growth.

Your Roadmap from Strategy to Results
Our Founder
Rachel Rubin Wilkins
Rachel Rubin Wilkins is an entrepreneur, strategic growth consultant, military spouse leader, and #1 international bestselling author with over 20 years of experience building communities, partnerships, and strategic initiatives across the country and overseas. She holds an Executive MBA from Washington University in St. Louis and studied business, marketing, and French at the University of Missouri-Columbia and the Université de Grenoble in France.
TEAM of Seven was born from Rachel’s years embedded in complex, high-stakes environments—from navigating life as an Army spouse for 20 years across eight states and Europe, to orchestrating over 70 events in a single year within the educational, technical, and geospatial communities. That experience revealed a gap the industry kept ignoring. Leaders need a strategic partner who asks the hard questions, connects the right people, and delivers outcomes that actually move the mission forward. She founded TEAM of Seven in 2023 to do exactly that—strategy first, trust and accountability always.
Recognized as Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas “Woman of the Year” and a recipient of multiple military service awards including the Dr. Mary E. Walker Award, Volunteer of the Year Excellence Award, and the Shield of Sparta, Rachel serves on boards across the St. Louis region and remains a dedicated connector, mentor, and strategist who believes the best outcomes happen when the right people are in the right room with the right plan.
The Heart of the Mission: The Original Team of Seven
Beyond the boardroom and the mountain trails, Rachel’s most vital "Team of Seven" is her family. As the proud spouse of a retired U.S. Army veteran, she spent 20 plus years navigating the complexities of military life—from overseas deployments to constant relocations across the U.S. and Europe. This journey forged a foundation of adaptability, innovation, and pure grit.
Rachel is a mother of five guiding, coaching and mentoring her children as they reach their own "summits" in college and early career roles. Whether navigating a global mountain trek or a major life transition, Rachel leads with a singular truth: the highest peaks are only reachable when built on the firmest foundations, your team. It is the living embodiment of her T.E.A.M. philosophy—Together, Everyone Accomplishes More.
For Rachel, the principles of leading, lifting, and leaving a legacy aren't just business strategies—they are the values she lives by every day at home.
Rachel is also the author of Lead, Lift, and Leave a Legacy—a #1 international bestseller across 6 countries (Australia, Canada, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the US) that brought together 33 women authors to share how mentorship shaped their leadership journeys. The mission has evolved into a global movement and event series, celebrating over a year as a cornerstone for collaborative leadership and mentorship.
The book reflects the same philosophy she brings to client work: lead with conviction, lift the people around you, and build authentic teams one relationship at a time.
