Watching this come to life was a masterclass in execution, Rachel Cheyfitz! 🥂#runlikeagirl. You leaned into the details that move the needle, and it shows. On a personal note, you inspired this week's #TotW. 🔥 Go team Visual Layer!
This is one of the best roll ups I've seen.
This is just a couple screenshots from Rachel Cheyfitz's roll up of "Today's Privacy and Security Regulations." She does a great job breaking down what each regulation is, who enforces it, and to whom it applies.
Rachel is an extremely capable technical writer, who has developed many skills that complement her primary tasks. She was the lead, company-wide, in the integration of the corporate documentation management system, developing training materials and establishing many of the DM processes and procedures used throughout Amdocs. She learned VBA and developed a work management tool that has been proposed for the Amdocs Innovation Award.
Rachel is a high-energy person, who is very much mission-oriented.
It was my pleasure to be her manager and I know that she will quickly become an invaluable asset in any new position.
Rachel and I were implementing a DITA-based single-sourcing solution at Synerion. As Synerion's documentation manager, Rachel realized the need to improve the way content authors and content consumers from the company and the outside work with company's technical documentation.
I was impressed by Rachel's open mind, her fresh view on existing challenges, professionalism, her enthusiasm, and readiness to solve the root of the problem rather than trying to fight with symptoms.
During the training that I provided as a part of DITA implementation, Rachel demonstrated the ability to quickly learn new concepts and implement them in practice.
I believe any company will win by taking Rachel as a documentation manager and having her in the team. She's a real professional.
Rachel is a very professional Technical writer.
She is well familiar with writing methodologies and working procedures, working according to priorities and schedules, and providing a high quality documentation package, to release with the company products.
As much as she is a professional, Rachel is also a great team player, cooperative, with high awareness of service providing.
I honestly believe that she can contribute a lot to any organization, on the professional and personal levels.

I worked with Rachel at Synerion systems while she was a Documentation leader and I, a QA team leader. Together we successfully documented many existing and future systems. Rachel consistently demonstrated her ability to quickly learn and document with in-depth knowledge a large variety of applications simultaneously, exhibiting both technical and business understanding. She clearly understood the importance of the QA team as well as the development team in the development lifecycle, and her and her team's role as an integral part throughout - with the need to work with all parties involved in order to create seamless documentation. In addition, she demonstrated great comprehension of the importance of both internal and external documentation, as well as the importance of creating quality documentation both for current and future customers as well as for both legacy, current and future applications

I have known Rachel for about 10 years and recently had the pleasure of working on the same team with her for the last couple of years. This is the second time that I've had the opportunity to work with Rachel - about 8 years ago we also worked on the same team for a couple of years. Rachel is an extremely knowledgeable and talented Technical Writer/Marketing Writer. She has excellent presentation skills and would be an asset to a training program. She is dedicated and energetic, with a variety of skills, able to tackle many tasks. She is always thinking out-of-the box and coming up with new creative solutions. Rachel is outgoing, pleasant, and positive - she is also a great team player and colleague. Rachel will succeed at whatever she does and I am happy to recommend her. Rhonda Friedman
As the IT Global Manager at Netformx, I have had the privilege of working regularly with Rachel since she joined us at the beginning of 2014. Rachel brought vision, creativity and motivation to the documentation processes and output at Netformx. When she first began her position, the company suffered from unmet needs in the area of documentation, including lack of uniform look & feel, conformity to the company look & feel, and alignment with the company vision. In the time she has been here, she has contributed her knowledge and excitement towards aligning the company documentation, both with vastly improved off-the-shelf documentation, as well as customer-facing documentation, such as white papers and requirements documents.
Rachel is always willing to give a hand wherever needed, never refusing to help a colleague with details that may be beyond her basic work description, and she is always seeking ways to improve the documentation as it is today.
I am glad to continue working with Rachel and would be happy to work with her again in any organization.
Rachel is a very dedicated technical writer and documentation leader. She brings high standards and is very productive.
Her ability to learn technology fast and leverage the full functionality of the available tools is unique. Rachel is very good in working with people and getting what she needs to make things work. She does not tend to accept wrong process and will do her best to fix things until they work well.
I would gladly hire her again if such opportunity comes.
Rachel and I worked together at Cisco. Rachel was the documentation writer for my software development team, which developed an end-to-end security solution. Rachel demonstrated exceptional teamwork, participating in all daily meetings and she explored the functionality as early as possible. She worked very closely with the other team members to make sure she had a clear understanding of the product before documenting. Rachel has very good technical skills and a great understanding of the customers’ needs, enabling her to focus on the central topics. She is very efficient and considerate when working with the team members, particularly when the team is under stress. Rachel self-manages, learning by experiencing with the product and working directly with the developers. Rachel’s documentation is modular and methodic - she makes sure that the customer understands the big picture and the theory behind all of the procedures but also writes very simple and methodic steps that the customer can follow easily, even for complicated procedures and products.
I was Rachel’s manager from Feb 2016 through May 2017. I hired her after a rigorous interview process including a technical interview and writing sample review.
Rachel is a _technical_ technical writer. Rachel was quick to learn the writing tools we use at Cisco. She also learned her product’s features quickly and was able to contribute content to the Identity Service Engine-Passive Identity Connector product soon after she was hired. Since then, she has put a lot of time and effort into learning the entirety of the Identity Services Engine.
Rachel worked well as a member of a geographically diverse writing team. (Part of her writing team was in the United States, she is in Israel, and the rest of her writing team is in India.) She accommodated meetings at odd hours and was a good communicator with me and the other writers on her team.
Rachel embraces change. In the time that Rachel has worked at Cisco, her product transitioned from a waterfall to an agile development approach. Moving to agile required everyone to learn a new development methodology and find a role within a scrum team that helped the work move forward. So, at the beginning of projects, when there was no user-facing functionality to document, Rachel took it upon herself to write the user stories for her scrum teams. She learned the engineering issues, solutions, and tasks in Hebrew and wrote the user stories in English for other teams spread around the world to read. To me this demonstrated great initiative by creating a role for herself that was helpful to her team, helpful for the project, and a good use of her skills before there was user-facing writing work for her to produce.
Finally, Rachel is passionate about quality. She takes initiative to improve content wherever she sees the need.
It’s rare to come across someone as talented and impactful as Rachel Cheyfitz. I had the pleasure of working closely with Rachel during her time at Coro, where she served as Director of GTM Strategy, Brand Leadership, and Product Content. Rachel is, without a doubt, one of the best product marketers and GTM strategists I’ve worked with in my career.
Her ability to distill complex product capabilities into clear, compelling value propositions was unmatched. Whether we were launching into new markets, enabling partners, or preparing for major campaigns, Rachel brought strategic clarity, creative direction, and a level of execution that consistently elevated everything around her. She deeply understood the intersection of product, brand, and sales—and always ensured our GTM plans were aligned across every stakeholder.
What sets Rachel apart isn’t just her marketing acumen—it’s also her collaborative spirit, sharp instincts, and genuine passion for doing great work. She made the teams around her better and was a trusted partner across functions. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again.
Any team would be lucky to have Rachel driving their GTM and product marketing strategy.
Rachel is a very smart and driven employee. She accomplishes all of her tasks in a timely manner and her writing skills are exceptional.
I worked with her on several projects at Amdocs and she was always professional.
Rachel is one of the most intelligent, efficient, hardworking and fast-learning people I have ever met. She is able to acquire new skills easier and quicker than anyone I know. She is someone to be counted on for high quality delivery of any job. I have personally seen her multitask across continents. She is also a great pleasure to work with (and of course an excellent and loyal friend.)
Rachel is a dedicated and passionate writer who makes an impact on her work environment by thinking out of the box and pushing herself beyond the boundaries of her job description. She brings a unique energy to her surroundings and inspires her colleagues and associates.
Rachel is an efficient and highly professional technical writer. I have truly enjoyed working with her at Amdocs. She is very dedicated to her work and has a high sense of responsibility. She will always meet her deadlines and deliver high-quality services. As a co-worker Rachel has patiently offered her assistance whenever I needed her help. On top of that she has a unique ability to build positive working relationships across borders. My keywords for Rachel are friendly, professional, efficient and intelligent. I give her my best recommendations!
Rachel provided professional technical writing support to my projects; she is very responsible, care about the job that she has to do and was always willing to take additional tasks as requested. She is very collaborative and managed to be very supportive although there were over 200 professionals in my program and thus brought a lot of benefit to the program.
Rachel is a very dedicated, caring and professional writer.
We have worked together on a special task of creating and maintaining the intranet portal for the division.
Rachel acquired the knowledge for this task very quickly and did a marvelous job. It has been a pleasure to work with her.
I shared an office with Rahel for more than a year and worked remotely with her for 4 years. Rachel is a high achiever, who is able to balance and prioritize her tasks and provide high quality work while being pleasant and easy to work with. She loves to learn new things and is a resource for offering creative solutions. Rachel is a team player, who is cooperative and can always be relied upon. In addition to our professional relationship, I value Rachel as a close friend, for whom I have great affection.
I worked with Rachel on several projects over the years. She is a consumate professional in her approach, and easy to work with on a personal level. She will make a positive impact to any project she is part of and she definitely has my recommendation.
I met Rachel at the beginning of her career at Amdocs, as her manager. Rachel was always dedicated to the needs of the internal and external customers, and was dedicated to quality products. She was an expert in her fields of responsibility and took the lead whenever necessary. It was my pleasure to welcome her to the company and to work with her during the years.
Rachel is an expert in technical writing, she's a professional, courteous and businesslike. I had the pleasure to work with her and I hope to work with her in the future.
I worked with Rachel for a year and a half. She's sharp, understands complex technical material, knows the tools, and writes good documentation. Rachel is an excellent time/project manager, always thinks ahead, and gets the job done. I can say beyond doubt that Rachel is an excellent technical writer.
I worked with Rachel for 2 years. She is an accurate Technical Writer, looking to give more value, and not just to get things done. Pleasant to work with and always provides service with a smile.
She also provided narration recording services, and was one of the best narrator I've worked with. quixk, accurate, looking for extra corrections, and pleasent to listen to.
Rachel joined Netformx in 2013 as technical writer and immediately made an impact. She is a strong team player and respond quickly on change requests with a very high level of excellence. While our team does not have to work with her often, we rely on her documentation excellence to improve our customers knowledge of our products. Prior to Rachel joining there were a variety of errors and old data, Rachel has cleaned the documents and expanded the content providing a much better experience for our customers and partners.
Rachel bring sanity and organization to the chaos... we are a fast moving company with a constant stream of changes and enhancements being proposed by multiple teams across geos and she somehow manages to stay on top of it all. It's a pleasure to work with her.
Rachel not only creates wonderful technical content, but she helps developers, product managers, and anyone who seeks her out write clearly and effectively. She also creates trusting relationships across teams and tackles an immense work load. It was a pleasure to work with her.
I worked with Rachel for one amazing year at Snyk at a time when describing it as “explosive growth” would be a wild understatement. We partnered on a successful project, migrating our documentation into a new, expanded knowledge base. Rachel worked tirelessly to implement a solution that met both our needs as well as the customer's. It was a great pleasure to have worked together, and I hope to work with her again in the future. She has a brilliant mind and her servant leadership style make her a great partner on any project. We miss you!
Rachel is a very talented and strategic marketing leader - her technical knowledge combined with experience driving product-led growth would make her an incredible asset to any organization.
Rachel was not only a pleasure to work with, an amazing colleague but a true subject matter expert when it came to Product Marketing and helping to understand the needs of customers (internal & external) for product information in a format that all could use.
Working with Rachel has been one of the greatest pleasures of my career so far, primarily because she's been the cornerstone of my career! Everything I learned about technical marketing and engineer-first content, I owe to her. Rachel is an amazing mentor, colleague, and human, and holds in her head the knowledge and creativity of 10 lifetimes!
Impressive output with great communication, following requirements exactly.
Thorough and fun to work with :)
Excellent and professional result
Rachel is an experienced technical writer and copywriter. She captured my idea quickly and delivered the first version very quickly. She also made the second revision in a short time to apply the style changes requested.
The end result was concise and educative messages for users in a pleasant and engaging style.
Working with Rachel for several orders already. Always creative, always on time.
Perfect as always - fast delivery, professional work, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Rachel
Great listener, tailored perfectly the work to my needs.
Working with Rachel was a great pleasure, and I highly recommend it.
-- So nice I've hired her twice! (so far) -- Bottom line: If Rachel's skills match your needs, book a call now. A few minutes is all you'll need to see she's the right fit. Fiverr recommended Rachel as a "Vetted Pro" for my project description, and her portfolio demonstrated solid expertise. During our initial Zoom call, she quickly grasped my company's current needs, and defined a precise scope. Rachel brings business experience and the skills to implement go-to-market, product marketing, content production, and technical documentation. Drawing from her work at Snyk, she helped me map out my company's strategic path with remarkable clarity. Would I hire her again? Of course - third time's the charm!
Good comms and listening to requirements. Excellent results
Rachel has a very unique vision when it comes to building marketing content and strategy! I highly recommend her service!
Excellent work! I highly recommend!
Rachel is a real professional at what she does and very detail-oriented.
I could see that in the final delivery.
all in all, I am very happy with the result.
Rachel is a very critical mind and made me reflect a lot on my project.
Highly recommend her and would hire her anytime - which I will :-)
Rachel was communicative, proactive, detailed and wrote an incredible user manual for our application. She learned the workings of a mature product with little need for guidance and created great, easy-to-understand support documentation. I highly recommend working with her!
Rachel is one of the best writers out there! I enjoy working with her because she is professional and easy to work with! Very fast, understood the brief quickly, and wrote me several versions until I was satisfied. I will definitely work with Rachel again in the future. She is a great person to work with and I recommend her to everyone
Fast. Incredibly detailed work. Delivered the first part of our project ahead of time. Can’t wait to finalise the documentation.
Rachel worked with me to develop my API documentation. Her writing was effective, straightforward and clear.
I am satisfied with her delivery
I have worked closely with Rachel when first joining Snyk in her role as leading the entire content review, documentation and technical resources for Snyk, all single-handedly through initiatives she lead and her passion to create the best content experience for Snyk's users and customer base. Her commitment to always produce the best quality of content, reviewing the technical bits with me term-by-term and truly understanding the context had shown me how deeply she cares about her role. Rachel is super energetic, always bringing in new ideas to the table, such as working on how-to and marketing videos at Snyk, and connecting open source content contributions to our support resources. It was a pleasure working with Rachel. She is an awesome person with great inter-personal skills and I'm looking forward to working with her again.
It was a pleasure to work closely with Rachel in Coro. Rachel's openness to alternative ideas, combined with her well-articulated opinions, consistently led to innovative solutions and improved outcomes. One of Rachel's strongest assets is her insatiable curiosity and eagerness to grow, both personally and professionally. She approaches challenges with enthusiasm, always seeking opportunities to learn and progress. Rachel's warmth, integrity, and genuine care for her colleagues make her not just a capable leader, but also a trusted friend and mentor.
I’ve had the benefit of working alongside Rachel as she took over a (at the time)virtually non existent product marketing leadership role and immediately took action to create an incredibly robust level of quality content. I appreciate that Rachel is quick to offer assistance and reliably provides quality work and meets deadlines. As a start up culture, the demands are fast and furious with constantly changing priorities and expectations- Rachel accepts every challenge in stride and pivots to provide quality responses to each. It is my privilege to recommend her as a valuable asset to any team.
I have had the pleasure of working alongside Rachel as a colleague, and I can confidently say that her contributions to our team have been very valuable. Rachel brings a strong mix of technical expertise and strategic thinking, along with a solid ability to create clear and effective content. Her skill in crafting product documentation, value propositions, and battle cards has been a major asset to our team.
Rachel's deep understanding of both our product and the market is evident in every piece of content she and her team produce, consistently delivering marketing materials that effectively resonate with our audience.
One notable contribution has been her work during our focused efforts for EMEA expansion. Even under tight deadlines and high-pressure conditions, Rachel and her team produced high-quality content for urgent proposals and RFPs. Her quick turnaround and professionalism played a key role in securing new business opportunities, contributing in an important way to our go-to-market strategy.
What stands out about Rachel is her collaborative approach. She consistently shares insights and supports her colleagues, fostering a culture of open communication within her team and beyond. Her ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, persuasive content has greatly improved our collective output.
I highly recommend Rachel for any role that requires technical acumen, strategic thinking, and strong content creation skills. She would be an asset to any organization fortunate enough to have her on board.
It was an incredible experience to work under Rachel’s leadership during her time at Lytx, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most enthusiastic and creative leaders I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Rachel’s energy and vision not only inspired the team but also created an environment where I felt truly empowered to thrive.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity Rachel gave me and the potential she saw in me. She recognized my skills from my startup experience and guided me in applying them within the dynamics of a large corporate tech company. She has a remarkable ability to identify strengths in others and help them unlock their full potential.
Rachel leads with a perfect balance of being approachable, fun, and respectful while maintaining high standards and a strong appreciation for quality work. She creates an atmosphere of trust and collaboration that inspires everyone around her.
Rachel and I worked at Lytx for a few years together on the Indirect Partnership Global Team and I could always count on her when things needed to get done in a professional and creative manner. She always seemed to know the right style and urgency during times when things where in a start up phase. Her confidence is uniquely needed at the right time and her passion is contagious. When we worked on projects together, it was always top quality and usable. I guess you could say she had real life creativity that built a trusted advisor that really made a difference. We worked on many initiatives together and she was always looking to utilize new approaches and innovation was her specialty.
I was always impressed with her technical ability coupled with her product knowledge that showed her confidence in any subject outside the normal dialogue. If you really get to know Rachel and understand her determination to support team member and organizations she works for, you will win with her every time. Rachel is a true asset to any organization and her ability to challenge the status quo is refreshing. I would recommend Rachel if you are looking for a top notch communicator, creative decision maker and want to succeed with high value returns Rachel is who you want on your team !!!
A recommendation on LinkedIn carries more than anything I could write about myself. It takes two minutes, and it sits on your profile as much as on mine.
