Ruth Harenchar

 

Ruth brings the advantage and expertise of 30 years of business and IT experience to Spire Solutions’ clients.  She also brings her passion for excellence and a passion for building a better world through business.  In the words of a Spire Solutions partner, “Ruth transforms something strong into something superb.  She does this while nurturing the human spirit of everyone involved.”   

Before launching Spire Solutions Group, the nuts & bolts of her career included being the CIO at two companies – Bowne & Company Inc., a $1 billion publicly-traded global financial printer; The Hobart West Group, a privately-held provider of legal document support services.  Ruth gained her consulting expertise at the global professional services firm of Ernst & Young LLP.  She started her IT career serving in a wide range of management and technology positions with Electronic Data Systems (EDS), the leading global information technology services company. 

Quoted in InformationWeek, Optimize, NetworkWorld, InfoWorld, ComputerWeekly, CIO Decisions and elsewhere on a variety of technology and leadership issues, Ruth’s expertise in Green Technology and passion for building a better world was recognized when she was asked to present at the United Nation’s co-sponsored conference in July 2008 on sustainable economic, business, and social development.

 

 

Why Spire Solutions?

 

A veteran C-level executive with years of in-the-trenches business experience, well-honed information technology & management consulting expertise, plus a wealth of business and technology experts.

Having received formal and on-the-job training from numerous and diverse success icons such as billionaire Ross Perot, quality guru Edward Deming, and leadership expert Peter Senge—Ruth provides transformative insights and inspires confidence.

Ruth’s specialty is strategic thinking and planning.  As described by a client, “Ruth’s strategic acumen is not a skill that can be taught.  It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large.  This perspective allows Ruth to see patterns where others simply see complexity.  Mindful of these patterns, Ruth plays out alternative scenarios and is able to see around the next corner.”
