Richard Russell

I help Australian, American and British technology businesses expand into Europe, and vice versa. Services cover the entire growth lifecycle, including market entry analysis, product internationalisation and localisation, operational implementation and interim leadership.

My background includes:

Senior Manager at Amazon Luxembourg, leading a global localisation and machine translation project, and building out a product and technical program management team to develop localised functionality.

Chief Product Officer at MoPowered, where I built out a Product and Engineering team and delivered a service that enables online shops to access the mobile channel without changing their existing website.

Founder of High Street Labs, where I created an automated mobile loyalty app using geo-fencing for brick-and-mortar retailers.

Manager and Sales Engineer at Google, where I built a technical operations team servicing major ad agencies programmatic buying teams, got public transport data onto Google maps, evangelised Google Checkout to e-commerce businesses, and generated revenuefor strategic publishers with AdSense.

Prior to that, I contributed to the Global Financial Crisis by deploying a bond and derivatives trading platform at Deutsche Bank, got Australian rural schools online by helping set up a Satellite ISP, and ran IT infrastructure for a number of SMEs.

I'm from Adelaide, Australia (where all the good wine comes from), I studied Computer Science and Mathematics, and I enjoy cooking even more than eating.
