A long succession plan has come to fruition as Rachel Lopez has taken over leadership of the largest minority-owned business in Central Massachusetts (with 685 employees) from her father, founder and CEO Reinaldo Lopez, and is working with her brother, Vice President Alex Lopez, to create success for another generation.
The firm provides employment opportunities by servicing its clients’ payroll, risk management, human resources and employment law needs, and then helping to promote growth at those companies. Rachel serves on a variety of boards and projects with the community as well, perhaps the highest profile one as a member of Gov. Charlie Baker’s Latino Advisory Board. RMI helps out in the community, participating in the Rally Against Cancer for The Jimmy Fund.
What makes Central Mass. unique? Central Mass. as a community provides a very diverse culture enriching the lives of so many. Our leadership whether its municipal, educational or business is second to none. This is my home; I have lived here my entire life. My job presents many opportunities to travel all over the country and abroad, and I can tell you there is no place like home.
Dinner at Rachel’s house: I am a foodie. I love to eat and cook. It is fun to try a dish, reverse engineer it, and recreate the recipes at home.
