Global Insights Leader Jeremy Ruch Joins Purple Strategies

Purple has welcomed veteran reputation, research and insights executive Jeremy Ruch to the firm as a managing director. With more than two decades of experience, Jeremy has guided clients through critical challenges and strengthened connections with stakeholders who matter most, including customers, investors, employees and policymakers.

“In an era marked by rapid transformation and complexity, Jeremy’s deep understanding of global dynamics and ability to turn insights into actionable strategies align with our commitment to help clients build enterprise value through reputation,” said Steve McMahon, Purple co-founder and CEO. “His leadership and perspective will be a tremendous asset to Purple.”

Jeremy has worked with some of the world’s largest companies across industries such as energy, healthcare, tech, retail, media and financial services. Based first in Washington, D.C., and now London, he has supported clients across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa from the warehouse to the boardroom and from the depths of crisis to the heights of an IPO. Previously, Jeremy was a partner at Brunswick Group, a senior director at FTI Consulting, and a pollster for political, public affairs and corporate clients at Public Opinion Strategies.

He holds degrees in International Relations from the University of Delaware and in Political Management from The George Washington University.

“It’s a real privilege to join a firm that I’ve admired for a long time for its uniquely confident and ambitious approach,” Jeremy said. “From regulatory shifts to geopolitical upheaval to AI, executive teams and boards are confronting an extraordinary volume of change. Bringing in the outside world to validate and pressure-test ideas and decisions is critical, and I’m so glad to be part of this team.”
