RUTH KRUGER
global force
• Commercial genius.
• Has the world on speed-dial.

Kuala Lumpur, Delhi, Istanbul. They sound like destinations on the average person’s bucket list. Not for Ruth Kruger. They’re just a few of the exotic watering holes where she’s spent time mixing with leaders, movers, and shakers in the international real estate community, forging alliances and developing strategies for a global clientele. While Ruth’s still active on the international scene, today her focus is on Aspen and its commercial future.You probably already know Ruth. After all, she’s been active in Aspen politics for years, is a fixture at Aspen Institute gatherings and is among Aspen’s most successful commercial brokers. She will humbly tell you she knows the floorplans of most of Aspen’s commercial properties – having leased, sold or found investors for most of them. And, while others hit the slopes, Ruth hits the books assessing comps, valuing assets, and analyzing commercial business metrics that make her clients positively giddy over the data she generates for them. Savvy and experienced, Ruth brings a lifetime of achievement, a sterling reputation and a down-to-earth approach that never fails. With a gift for setting a brilliant negotiating table, Ruth’s easy manner and command of fact calms nerves, tames egos and brings the deal home.
