Ruth Sayward - CEO and Founder
Ruth's experience in international human resources at a Fortune 500 company made her conscious of a serious gap in services provided to expatriates - - they needed consistent, reliable mail service! Ruth decided to provide this service, became an entrepreneur and established Personal Mail International, PMI Expatriate Mail Services, in 1987, the only mail forwarding-receiving industry for USA families living abroad. PMI’s high standards of receiving and shipping packages, mail, medications, library and home school materials relieved corporations of the “mail burden”. Especially appreciated by expatriates and their families for almost 33 years, PMI is proud of this original solution made on their behalf.
Ruth’s personal history includes years of working toward world peace and relief of hunger. She graduated from Drew University, Madison, NJ in 1981. Later, for Princeton Seminary, she worked on community organization in Trenton. Ruth lives on Vinalhaven Island off the coast of Maine and continues her active participation in PMI. She is proud of the ”PMI family”.
