Ruth Munday joins Gattaca PLC, which includes specialist staffing brands Matchtech & InfoSec People, as Chief Commercial Officer. This is a growth hire: a senior commercial leader whose job is to help us be closer to our customers and our markets.
Ruth has nearly 30 years in the industry, spanning multiple sectors, countries and service lines. She has led growth across Europe and has driven the strategy for large multinational clients across 33 countries. She has a passion for embedding customer centric approaches in businesses and for achieving great results by helping people be more successful.
Matthew Wragg, CEO of Gattaca PLC, said: “In Ruth we have found someone with amazing credentials, years of experience in senior roles, working closely with customers and helping people improve. Her lack of ego really stood out, as did her gravitas and genuine care for others.”
He added: “We are not the most brash of organisations and don’t strive to be. Ruth really grew throughout the process, and this is exactly the experience our customers have come to receive from us… a business that continues to step up and impress the deeper into the relationship we go.”
What this means for customers
Ruth’s approach starts with the real issue. “My favourite saying with customers is I want us to get to ‘the problem behind the problem’,” she said. “To understand this, we need to get deeper into our customers’ worlds.”
“Our customers’ needs are continuing to change at a rapid pace, and we want to continue to be ready with new ideas, prepared to challenge their status quo and ultimately, to go above and beyond to make them successful.”
The role is built around customers. Matthew said: “With a bed rock of an award-winning culture, External focus is now our top focus. Being even closer to our customers is critical and helping be a competitive advantage to them. This role is about being even closer to the marketplace to continue to deploy and develop our services and make sure the breadth of our capability is being harnessed to help business and people win.”
