Ruth Barnett

I’m Ruth Barnett and I joined successful London start-up SwiftKey earlier this year after a career in journalism. I used to work at Sky News specialising in politics, technology and social media.

I am now head of communications for SwiftKey and coordinate our media coverage, our web and social media presence and a whole host of other things.

SwiftKey the app is regularly a global No 1 on the paid Android charts. It changes the game of text prediction – it uses artificial intelligence to understand the context of what you’re writing, which means it can accurately predict your next word and offer relevant typo corrections. You don’t even have to bother typing spaces most of the time! We also deal directly with manufacturers and enterprise industries.
