ABOUT KAREN RUST
Thank you for looking at my profile, here\'s what motivates me! I’m a commercial marketer at heart — I start with the business objective, understand the market context, and shape marketing that delivers clear, measurable impact. I lead an enthusiastic, results focused UK & I field marketing team, and creating the conditions for them to succeed is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. We focus on practical, grounded marketing that stays tightly aligned to the needs of sales and the customers we’re all trying to influence.I enjoy simplifying complexity, aligning teams and creating work that feels purposeful for customers, sales leaders and my team. Collaboration, clarity and thoughtful execution guide how I work, and I’m at my best when blending creative thinking with strong commercial focus. When sales and field marketing are aligned, everything feels smoother — decisions come faster, activity has intent, the team feels energised and customers feel better understood.Outside of work, I find energy and enjoyment in travel, time with friends, scenic cycle rides, nurturing my garden, fun gym classes and Pilates — anything that keeps me curious and inspired.
