About

I'm building Ruth, the career platform closing the gender wage gap. Ruth helps women build personal brands, negotiate salaries, and navigate careers with confidence. We're using AI to give every woman the tools that used to be reserved for executives with $500/hour coaches. Before Ruth, I spent years at the intersection of AI, content creation, and personal branding. I've generated 120M+ impressions and been featured in Fortune, CNBC, and Harper’s Bazaar. I've helped corporations, startups, and individuals leverage AI to build authentic brands that drive results. I believe the future of business is human-centered AI — technology that empowers people to show up as their full selves. What I'm focused on now: → Building Ruth to close the gender wage gap → Hosting events like America's First Women's Vibe Coding Hackathon → Creating content that helps women leverage AI and advance in their careers Let's connect: valerie@ruthapp.ai Join the movement: ruthapp.ai
