Who we are
MKRglobal is a product-centered advisory and consultancy bridging the nexus between corporate vision, product strategy, go-to-market execution, customers and operational delivery. We help leaders - from founders and SMBs to Fortune 500 executives and their teams – ensure the connection from vision to impact. Delivering big-picture clarity with grounded, measurable results.
Why "global"? We bring:
Global experience—with international and domestic customers, products and markets.
Global sensitivities—we understand and embrace regional and cultural differences.
Global availability—from local to international, we'll meet you where you are.
As principal and founder, Mike Ruth is a seasoned business leader, technology executive, entrepreneur, and team builder, bringing over 30 years of success and growth to the businesses, customers, and clients he has partnered with locally, domestically, and internationally.
MKRglobal also brings a broad network of external partnerships and trusted relationships to client engagements where our team’s availability, experience or skills don’t meet the needs or the timeline of the project. Our partner network spans technical experts, contract engineering, business development, marketing agencies, project management, and more. We are happy to work with others or provide referrals where we are not the best fit.
