Office Revolution proudly announces the addition of Matt Ruder to its ownership team, a strategic move that reinforces the company’s commitment to growth, customer value, and industry leadership.
Matt’s career is defined by his successful founding and leadership of The Ruder Group, a premier commercial interiors rep firm recognized for its ability to connect architecture and design firms, as well as contract furniture dealers, with top-tier furniture and architectural products. Over more than two decades, Matt led The Ruder Group with a deep understanding of market dynamics and a steadfast focus on customer-centric service, earning the firm a reputation for excellence and setting benchmarks for quality and client experience.
After his time at The Ruder Group, Matt transitioned to the manufacturing side of the industry, serving as Vice President of Business Development at Halcon, a leading modern furniture manufacturer known for its superior craftsmanship and design. In this role, Matt played a key part in advancing the brand’s product development and growth initiatives, further cementing his reputation as a visionary leader in the field.
“I began working with Office Revolution when Bernie Donaldson founded the company in 2001. What has always impressed me is their integrity, transparency, and proactive approach to overcoming the inevitable challenges in commercial interiors projects,” said Matt. “They are true partners to their clients, focused on building long-term relationships rather than simply conducting transactions. Their agility and commitment to success in any situation have always stood out to me.”
Matt’s decision to join Office Revolution as an owner/principal and active leader comes at an exciting time in the company’s expansion efforts, including the recent opening of a new location in Kansas City. His enthusiasm for growing Office Revolution on both local and national levels is evident, and he is eager to leverage his extensive experience, insights, and network to help propel the company forward.
Bernie Donaldson, Founding Principal of Office Revolution, expressed his excitement about Matt’s appointment: “We are thrilled to welcome Matt Ruder to Office Revolution. I have tremendous respect for him as a business leader, industry expert, and individual. His vast experience and results-driven approach align perfectly with our mission to deliver unparalleled value to our clients. As we continue to expand, Matt’s leadership will be essential in guiding us to new heights and achieving our strategic goals.
