TESTIMONIALS
"Ruth Feldman is a powerful resource. She helped us set up our company and define the face we would present to the world. Ruth is intellectually and artistically gifted and has the ability to identify the most important elements that make a company what it is at its best. And in doing so, she not only helps the outside world to know a company, but can also help a company know itself. Quiet spoken, speaking and thinking with clarity, and able to attack a task with skill and inspiration Ruth gives her heart and brains to all she does. And she’s always ahead of her deadlines. I highly recommend her."
Alan Alda, Founder, Alda Communication Training, LLC
My favorite recollection when I first met Ruth on her very first day? She was on
her knees putting wine glasses into fancy bags, as Alan Alda wandered around
the studio. Someone had dropped the ball big time, and she said nothing. She did everything. Ruth gets **it done. No complaining. No whining. Done.
Grace Noonan-Kaye, Current Colleague
I had the pleasure of working with Ruth for 3 years while at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. I found her to be an extremely creative and collaborative colleague who demonstrated strong leadership skills. Because of such qualities, Ruth was often selected by our most senior management team to spearhead key initiatives. Ruth brings not only a clear strategic vision to each project, but also has a superior editorial background, a beautiful aesthetic, and a keen understanding of how to build a brand. This winning combination earned her the trust and respect of the most discerning leaders, and deservedly so.
Janet Stein, Global Sales and Merchandising Executive
I worked with Ruth while we were at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Ruth blends sharp business acumen with a deft creative execution, a rare blend in one person. Her insight, awareness, and talent reveal themselves daily from the most subtle of print design elements to the broadest of digital brand strategies. Ultimately, she understands that business leverage comes from creating powerful emotional connections with the customer. Ruth's work exemplifies, and even defines, that critical-for-success-art of team collaboration across departmental and international boundaries. In short, she knows her stuff, shares generously, and does all with care.

Ruth is a charm to work and collaborate with. She brings calm and level-headedness to any discussion and negotiation. It is my honor to have seen her creativity at work and to have her as a friend.
We worked together on launching two of Martha Stewart's magazines for the Middle East. Ruth was an excellent guide and resource to help us achieve and maintain successful publications.

Heloise Goodman, US Brand Partner Liaison, Appreciate Limited
In her quiet, unassuming way, Ruth delivers powerful, high impact results. I had the pleasure of working with her at MSLO and was impressed by the creativity and global understanding which she utilized in identifying and negotiating new international business. The monthly multi-platform content she created for all the international partners was brand right, culturally appropriate and in alignment with the US editorial direction. She single handedly increased the MSLO publishing international reach exponentially during the course of her tenure with the company. She is a bright, strong, warm and wonderful person with whom I enjoyed working tremendously. She would be an asset to any organization.
