NEW YORK, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Kathy Bloomgarden, CEO of Ruder Finn, was named ‘Global Professional – Agency’ at the PRWeek Global Awards last night. PRWeek recognized Bloomgarden for being “an incredibly accomplished leader with well-earned credibility” who knows how to “drive the agenda rather than follow it.” Bloomgarden was also recently honored with an Outstanding Individual Achievement award at PRovoke’s SABRE Awards, and celebrated as a 2025 Pinnacle Award Honoree at Medical Marketing + Media’s Pinnacle Awards.
Bloomgarden has been at the helm of Ruder Finn as CEO since 2014. Under her leadership, Ruder Finn has reached many new frontiers, including launching the agency’s China office, healthcare practice, and technology innovation hub rf.TechLab. Bloomgarden has driven industry-leading growth and global expansion, pioneering the adoption of disruptive technologies. She has been at the forefront of AI strategies, shaping AI-ready data infrastructures, addressing LLM hallucinations, and bridging east-west divides in AI development. Within the past year, Bloomgarden established the RF AI Advisory Council and spearheaded the agency’s newest LLM optimization offering rf.aio. She convenes high-level dialogues on tech disruption and is a trusted voice in global leadership circles, including the World Economic Forum and Fortune’s CEO Council. With her ability to anticipate trends and act decisively, Bloomgarden has made Ruder Finn a key partner for global clients navigating economic uncertainties, geopolitical tension, and technological disruption.
“For Dr Kathy Bloomgarden, Ruder Finn’s ‘What’s Next’ ethos – which means always remaining one step ahead of industry trends and leading with a data-driven, digital-first, early-adopter mindset – isn’t just a nice tagline, it’s an essential part of keeping the agency ahead of the game,” said PRWeek in their winners profile on Bloomgarden.
“It is an honor to receive this prestigious honor from PRWeek,” said Bloomgarden. “We are at a transformative juncture for our industry, where the role of communications is crucial in driving the adoption of groundbreaking technologies on a global scale across industries.
