About Us
Jen Ruthe
Partnership Development & Communications Consultant
Jen is a senior nonprofit professional turned fundraising and communications consultant. Inspired by time spent living and working in South America and Southeast Asia, she returned to the UK determined to build a career in the nonprofit sector. Beginning her career in programme funding, she went on to work with some of the world’s largest donors, helping organisations raise millions of pounds to deliver lasting social impact.
Today, Jen brings over 15 years’ experience in international development, as well as an MSc in Global Health. After moving from the UK to Belgium with her husband in 2018, she set up her own company offering specialist fundraising and communications services to organisations in the health and social impact space.
Since then, she has worked with clients ranging from small nonprofits to commercial agencies and major European and global institutions — delivering projects including digital campaigns, event communications, corporate positioning and award-winning advocacy work. A published academic author, her work and viewpoints are featured in BMC Nursing, BMJ Global Health, International Health Policies and Global Health Unfiltered. She is also writing a book chronicling her “loved experience” of diabetes.
Joining Heights and Minds felt like a natural fit, and she is excited to help the organisation build the relationships and communications it needs to grow its impact.
