Marianne Rutz

Marianne Rutz serves as CEO of Ethical Maintenance, a property factoring company focused on transforming the homeowner experience in Scotland's residential communities. She developed the LEAP framework — Leading People, Executing Process, and Amplifying Profit — to guide the company's operations, with an emphasis on employee development, streamlining operations through automation and AI, and reinvesting in community benefits.

Her leadership philosophy centers on empathy and transparent engagement, including twice-yearly community meetings and educational initiatives that help residents understand their rights and participate in maintenance decisions. Beyond her current role, Rutz advocates for advancing women's leadership in the factoring industry and remains focused on building sustainable business practices that balance growth with work-life harmony for herself and her team.
