Ambassador Office Hour - Ruth Penfold

At Huckletree, our Ambassadors are a curated group of entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors from top global brands and startups. They’re here to provide valuable insights, advice, and connections to help you navigate challenges and reach your next milestone.

Meet Ruth Penfold, a former Chief People Officer turned leadership coach and speaker, on a mission to close the Authenticity Gap—the space between who we are and who we feel we need to be to succeed at work. Drawing on her leadership experience at companies like Shazam, Onfido, and bp Launchpad, Ruth now helps individuals and organisations build cultures that celebrate individuality over conformity.

She is the founder and creator of the Bloom Method, a framework designed to help people lead with authenticity, courage, and self-trust.
