Paula Rathgaber-Gomez

Chief Experience Officer

Paula Rathgaber-Gomez, as Sequoia Living’s first Chief Experience Officer (CXO), brings a lifetime of sales and marketing experience to four Life Plan Communities at Sequoia Living, a nonprofit in Northern California. She began selling Girl Scout cookies at 6 years old and has held sales and leadership roles with Kisco, HumanGood, and Silverado. Paula also managed sales and marketing at 11 cemeteries and mortuaries for one of the largest Archdiocese in the US. She completed master’s level classes at the Franciscan School of Theology and is working towards completing her MBA.

In her new role as CXO, Paula will unify all touchpoints—sales, marketing, communications, and engagement—to shape how people connect with Sequoia Living. With Paula’s leadership, we #NeverStopGrowing in purpose and possibility.
