Ruth Russell Hutton
@ruthrussellhutton
I drive Caribbean business growth through strategic partnerships, healthcare market expansion, and commercial leadership.
What I'm looking for
I'm driving regional business development for Medical Protection Society across the Caribbean and Bermuda, strengthening healthcare, government, and institutional partnerships while advancing member acquisition and retention.
Previously, at Massy Distribution, I moved a newly acquired healthcare brand into the division's top 10 principals within 13 months, delivered double-digit profit margins, secured government contracts, and reduced accounts receivable over 120 days by 30%.
My career also includes commercial leadership at Janssen and Coca-Cola Jamaica, where I led regional sales and marketing, launched products, expanded formularies, developed teams, and consistently exceeded growth and quota targets.
