With 20+ years of experience in the public relations sector, I specialise in providing insightful leadership for PR agencies and in-house communications teams. My background includes significant roles both in-house and agency-side, allowing me to understand the unique challenges faced by communications teams in this fast moving industry.

Former MD of WE UK & EMEA, Head of Brand PR for Diageo Western Europe and MD of Cirkle. I've led some of the fastest growing agencies in the UK, won numerous awards including PRCA Agency Head of the Year, awarded PRCA Fellow and a Cannes Lions Jury member. Industry commentator, regular judge and WIPR committee member.
Ruth always provides thoughtful and trusted counsel. She's a great sounding-board with a real focus on client experience and satisfaction. She's also a wonderful leader of people and organizations, moving the needle on inclusivity, people's development and journeys. .
Ruth brings people with her, is not afraid to ask the tough questions, makes change and really gets the commercials.
I see her as a consummate commercial leader that can turnaround a business, function and team.
I've worked closely with Ruth both in the UK and across EMEA. She's a determined leader who brings people with her to achieve business success and positive impacts for her teams, clients, and for the company she leads.
Ruth is a seasoned professional, tenacious, focused, decisive and determined. Ruth is a natural leader who inspires all of those around her.
Her strong people instincts are always front and centre and she will nurture and develop those around her to achieve business success.

I know first hand the power of support and partnerships when you are in a leadership role. It can be daunting at the top and it's OK to need advice, counsel and direction. Running a team is fast paced and challenging at times and this is where I come in - with experience of leading and growing profitable, award winning teams and businesses, I will support you and your leadership team on your strategic challenges and next stage of growth.

I'm down to earth and straight talking. I'm a fast paced and dynamic leader, so pride myself on being able to adapt quickly to the needs of the business and being able to provide collaborative and achievable solutions.

I offer an entirely bespoke solution. No leadership challenge is the same.
If it is a gap in your leadership bench, I can offer interim & part time support - whether that is CEO/MD level or a Head of department role.
I can support on a project basis around strategy, marketing, commercials, operations or talent & culture.
I can provide ongoing support and mentoring to the CEO/MD.
