Chelsea Ferrer

Chelsea’s path to CrossFit is an anecdote shared by many in the CrossFit community – it was her ear drums that were first exercised by the CrossFit methodology. As her husband (Clay) became more involved with CrossFit, Chelsea experienced a flood of acronyms, descriptions, and discussions revolving around CrossFit. It would not be long before she was ready to experience it for herself. Three years later, Chelsea is still training alongside Clay at Ballston CrossFit. Chelsea is excited about the prospect of combining her professional sales background with her passion for CrossFit to help Rigquipment Finance reach affiliate owners across the United States.

Chelsea began her career in sales as a pharmaceutical sales associate for Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc, a specialty pharmaceutical company headquartered in Cary, North Carolina that was founded in 2000. At Cornerstone, Chelsea was responsible for establishing the Northern Virginia market as a new territory for the company. A large part of her job focused on educating medical practitioners and pharmacists about Cornerstone’s pharmaceutical products, which had not previously been marketed in the region. At the time she left Cornerstone, Chelsea was ranked in the Top 10 nationally for new product growth rates.

Chelsea then pursued a new sales opportunity with H.Bloom, a corporate floral start-up founded in New York City in 2010. Chelsea joined H.Bloom as one of the first employees in the Washington, D.C. market when it opened in 2011. Her role as a senior sales associate was to secure floral contracts with hotels, commercial properties, professional service providers, and restaurants in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. Much of her time was spent educating potential customers on the differentiating benefits of the H.Bloom model as well as managing closed accounts to minimize the potential for turnover. Prior to resigning to join Rigquipment Finance, Chelsea had closed accounts totaling more than $900,000 of annual contract value, which ranked her as number one in company history (across all markets, which had grown from two to eight during her tenure).

Chelsea graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Psychology and Biology.
