away in September 2023. As a leader in the investor relations and public relations profession, Ruth built a reputation for providing clients with strategic communications advice and counsel across a wide range of issues. She had a strong track record working with a wide range of healthcare companies in all sub-sectors and stages of development. Ruth was the second woman to serve
as Chair of NIRI in 1983-1984. In 2010, she was recognized by IR Magazine as the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement in Investor Relations Award. She founded Te Ruth Group in 1999.
Before that, Ruth was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Edelman Financial Worldwide, with responsibility for the firm’s global investor relations and financial public relations practices. Before joining Edelman in 1997, she
was Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dewe Rogerson, founding and building the firm into a leading strategic communications agency. Prior to Dewe Rogerson, Ruth was
“Carol Ruth was one of the pioneers in investor relations...
she will be missed.” NIRI President and CEO Matthew D. Brusch, CAE
Senior Vice President of the Hill and Knowlton Financial Division for 18 years. “Carol Ruth was one of the pioneers in investor relations” says NIRI President and CEO Mat-
thew D. Brusch, CAE. “In addition to serving as NIRI Chair, she also served on the NIRI Ethics Council and was a member of the NIRI Senior Roundtable. She was a well-known expert on both investor and public relations best practices. She will be missed.” Fern Lazar, Managing Partner, Global Health Practice Leader at Finn Partners, commented on
LinkedIn, “It would not be an understatement to say that Carol shaped the careers of hundreds of today’s investor relations practitioners and touched hundreds more through the leadership roles that her teams assumed at agencies and companies around the world. “I was among those lucky to have benefited from working with Carol, inspired by her special
brand of leadership that gave you the confidence to believe that could do anything. Carol wrote the book on customer service and the need to delight clients by going above and beyond. Carol was my friend and mentor. I will be among many who will dearly miss her. Rest in peace, my friend.” IR
