About

With over a decade of experience in interim recruitment, Ruth has built a reputation for precision, pace and trust, consistently providing senior finance professionals across CFO, Financial Controller, FP&A, and Transformation mandates.

She works closely with investors and management teams across the full investment lifecycle, from initial acquisition support and integration through to exit readiness and beyond.

Prior to joining Dartmouth Partners, Ruth delivered interim solutions across a wide range of ownership structures – from VC and PE-backed scale-ups to FTSE-listed multinationals – giving her a breadth of experience that informs a pragmatic, outcomes-led approach. Her commitment to long-term relationships, rather than short-term transactions, has led to an extensive network of trusted clients and candidates.

Ruth graduated in Design with Business Studies. After realising, rather swiftly, that a career in design wasn’t for her, she began her recruitment journey in 2015 and hasn’t looked back since. 

Outside of work, she’s mostly outdoors, whether cycling, running, or hosting dinner parties with friends and family.

"I worked with Ruth at Dartmouth for an urgent, senior placement and the experience was excellent. The turnaround time was speedy and given the critical nature of the role, was still comprehensive and high quality. Onboarding was easy and I would happily go to them again, the next time I had a role."
