About Ruth C. Killeen

There is nothing more inspiring than the ability to drive business growth. Not random growth but strategic growth with envisioned direction and efficient management of all details. I bring that inspiration to the table, every single day. It is in my professional DNA. As I progressed through a self-directed, multi-disciplinary career path, I pursued my formal education in parallel. What was learned at university by night was applied to my profession by day.

Results-driven and reliable with a high energy work ethic, I am adept in building brand awareness, consideration and demand with conversion to pipeline and revenue, on deadline and budget. Masterful at understanding customer needs and articulating competitively differentiated value propositions, I am also skilled in the application of marketing technology and customer psychology to shift brand perceptions and identify sales opportunities. Known for good judgement, strong leadership, and collaboration to influence, earn trust, and build cohesive teams.
