She graduated from Lehigh University with a bachelor's degree in international business in 1997. As part of her major, she studied in Guatemala, Italy, and Kenya. She returned to Lehigh to give the 2017 commencement address.

Before joining Bloomberg, Ruhle spent 14 years in finance. While in college, she spent a summer interning for Merrill Lynch. In 1997 she joined Credit Suisse, where she spent six years working in hedge fund sales. During her time at Credit Suisse First Boston, she served as a vice president and became the highest producing credit derivatives salesperson in the United States. In 2003, Ruhle joined Deutsche Bank as a credit salesperson covering hedge funds; She ended her eight-year career there as a managing director in Global Markets Senior Relationship Management, which involved working with the bank's larger hedge fund clients. While at Deutsche Bank, Ruhle founded the Global Market Women's Network to help women move into leadership roles at the company.

Ruhle joined Bloomberg Television in October 2011, where she co-hosted a two-hour early morning program called Inside Track with co-anchor Erik Schatzker. In 2012, Ruhle and Schatzker joined Market Makers, a two-hour late morning program. Ruhle then co-hosted Bloomberg GO with David Westin before leaving the network. She has profiled figures including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, hedge fund managers Stanley Druckenmiller and David Tepper, NBA players Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, Donald Trump, JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon, Martha Stewart, Sean Parker, former Vice President Al Gore, business magnate Russell Simmons, Masters winner Jordan Spieth, Macy's CEO and chair Terry Lundgren, and music moguls Sean Combs and Kanye West.

In April 2012, Ruhle, along with Bloomberg reporters Bradley Keoun and Mary Childs, were the first reporters to break the story of the London Whale, the trader behind the 2012 JPMorgan Chase trading loss. Ruhle reported that Bruno Iksil, the London-based trader at JPMorgan Chase, had amassed positions large enough to distort prices in the $10 trillion credit derivative market.

In June 2013, Ruhle wrote a provocative response to Paul Tudor Jones' comments on women in trading for the Huffington Post that elicited responses from both the media and financial industries. In October of that same year, Ruhle sat down with Martha Stewart to discuss social media, blogging, and the creation of the "lifestyle" category. This interview brought an ongoing feud between Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow into public view, after Stewart questioned the actress's place in the "lifestyle business".
