Background

About Russell Hester

I pride myself on delivering genuine results – over the last 20 years, keeping my focus on product and process has allowed me to do just that. I have a track record of success in launching innovative products and capitalizing on new market opportunities on a global scale in multiple industries. Beyond that, my background combines technical expertise (with over a dozen patents granted) with keen business acumen. I know how to distill information into a clear strategic vision and put the systems, teams, and operations in place to make that vision a reality. I excel at working with business leaders, developing something meaningful for their product line, and identifying areas for product growth. Because I understand business problems from multiple perspectives, I have also become a trusted advisor to people in top leadership roles, influencing decision-making not just on product strategy but also on adopting a Balanced Scorecard and transforming approaches to pipeline management and data tracking. As a professional, I am motivated by building enthusiasm across teams and harnessing that enthusiasm to benefit the company’s top and bottom lines through innovation. I am excited to move companies into new spaces in a way where both the company and its people are thriving, and my priority is to deliver comprehensive, durable strategies that promote long-term growth.
