Ruth Gierisch
Director, Operations
Ruth is a self-proclaimed "process nerd" who thrives on creating order from chaos. As Director of Operations at Walk West, she collaborates across all departments to streamline workflows and boost efficiency throughout the agency.
After nearly two decades in sales and marketing, Ruth transitioned to project management and agency life. Her talent for organizing complex projects and commitment to excellence consistently deliver results for both internal teams and clients.
Ruth is an Appalachian State University graduate who brings the perfect mix of humor and heart to everything she does. When she's not keeping her coworkers entertained with perfectly-timed Slack GIFs and quick wit, you'll find her tending to her gardens, crushing her latest workout, diving into home renovation projects, or stopping every dog owner in Durham for some quality pup time (because apparently three bulldogs at home just isn't enough to satisfy her daily dog quota).
