"Ruth is a tireless self motivator whose experience, commitment, creativity and positivity helped kora come to life. She supported us through our startup phase, wearing multiple hats throughout - project management, copy-writing, web design, research, spreadsheet crunching, financial analysis, email marketing campaigns... She is painstaking in her approach to each task, and her dedication to ensuring that the task is completed on time and to the required quality is exemplary.  Do not overlook her design skills either, as these are fantastic. She created kora’s logo - which is a thing of beauty and brains." Michael Kleinwort, Founder Kora.
