Ruth P. Novales, Vice President and Corporate Affairs Executive of Nestlé Philippines is a graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University. Ruth first embarked on a career in marketing agriculture for Jardine Davies and eventually became its public relations head.

Thereafter, she took on key sales roles in several companies which included Wyeth and Kimberly Clark. In 2006, she joined Nestlé Philippines as regional sales manager for its Ice Cream Street Selling Division. Soon after, she took on the role as Head of Marketing Promotions and Events and was promoted to Vice President.
