Ruth Napier

I am passionate about delivering the best BD & marketing guidance to drive profitable growth.

About Ruth.

From 1990 to 2005 Ruth worked in Corporate Finance marketing and business development for a global investment bank - including CRM and bid support to business planning, ABM, fee pool model development and strategy.

Since 2007 Ruth has specialised in BD-led marketing in EMEA and the UK, working at board level in full service law firms to help achieve their growth ambitions. She also worked with Not-For-Profit organisations in Trustee and Voluntary Exec roles.

Ruth’s corporate experience was gained at Bankers Trust, Deutsche Bank, Simmons & Simmons, Cripps and Payne Hicks Beach. She has a MSc in Information Management from Sheffield University.

"Business owners can become frustrated by mediocre results from products or services sold by persuasive salespeople. Admitting a mistake is tough, but staying with a flawed solution is costly. An experienced CMO can diagnose the problem, advise on options, and guide you in assessing, selecting and implementing the right choice."

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

  • By following these tips, you can make sure you’re noticed on LinkedIn and start building the professional connections you need to further your career.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
