Meet the Founder...
Rachael Willig
Rachel Willig, the founder of Holy Ventures, is a Cincinnati, Ohio–based entrepreneur whose life is rooted in the Catholic faith, community, and service to others. Growing up as one of eight siblings, she developed a deep appreciation for togetherness, generosity, and the beauty of shared life. These values continue to shape both her work and her approach to engaging with others.
Her Background
Rachael is deeply devoted to her Catholic faith, which is at the very center of her mission. As an avid world traveler, she lived in France, Spain, and Italy while training as a chef, an experience that deepened her love for culture, service, and human connection. Later she opened a personal chef company that now operates in multiple cities. Her company strives to serve families with the same values with which she grew up. As a young professional herself, Rachael recognized a lack of opportunities for Catholic young adults to serve, pilgrimage, and adventure together. Feeling that God was calling her to respond, she founded Holy Ventures.
