Margriet de Ruijter appointed Managing Director at Marcommit
We are proud to welcome Margriet de Ruijter as Managing Director of Marcommit, effective 1 June 2026. She takes over from Marlin Goethals and Denise van Ooijen at a point where AI is changing how B2B organisations build visibility, authority and trust.
Margriet is a seasoned communications leader with close to twenty years in strategic communication and agency management at international agencies including Weber Shandwick, Edelman and Zeno Group, working with clients such as Unilever, Mars-Wrigley, Haleon and HP. She joined Marcommit last September as Client & Operations Director with a clear brief: strengthen the operation, develop the team and contribute to growth. The strategic course she helped set there is the one she now continues.
""The past months have confirmed how much potential there is in Marcommit," says Margriet. "At the same time, the profession is changing fundamentally. AI increasingly shapes how organisations become visible, build trust and claim authority. That calls for a more strategic approach to PR and communication, and that is where I see a real opportunity for Marcommit.""
Under her leadership, Marcommit builds further on its position as a strategic B2B PR partner, with the emphasis on thought leadership, executive profiling and communication that demonstrably contributes to reputation, authority and business impact. The agency was named PR Agency of the Year at the Dutch PR Awards earlier this year.
