You’ve got a business to grow—
leave the HR logistics to us.

At Carolina People Co, we partner with growing companies to deliver strategic, flexible HR solutions—without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Meet Rachel Wagner

Founder & CEO, Carolina People Co

With over a decade of HR experience in corporate and manufacturing environments—including leading people initiatives at Amazon—I’ve supported dynamic teams and employee populations of over 10,000. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Resources and have built my career around helping businesses navigate people challenges with clarity, compliance, and care

Now, through Carolina People Co, I partner with growing companies to deliver strategic, flexible HR solutions—without the overhead of a full-time hire.

I was born and raised in Anderson, SC and I'm a proud University of South Carolina alum. I live in Anderson with my husband, Daniel, and our two children, Anna Walker and Jones. When I’m not working, you can usually find me planning our next family adventure—or deep into a game of mahjong.
