Ruth Mounstephen

Ruth grew up in Oxford, took her degree at Durham University, and then started professional life as a graduate trainee in NHS management. Ruth’s working life has been almost exclusively in the not-for-profit sector: the Health Service, three different charities, local government and more latterly an international student charity. Her main interest is in strategy development, organisational change and development and performance monitoring. Ruth is motivated by seeing people flourish, develop and reach their potential – not just in their jobs, but in their lives. She loves to see people grow in their skills and knowledge, and to be able to pass those on to others. Ruth moved to Cornwall in 2018, where her husband Philip is Bishop of Truro. Ruth is a member of People & Organisational Development Sub-Committee and Estates Project Group.
