Airship’s unique focus on optimizing the entire mobile app customer lifecycle and empowering a brand’s entire team, are well timed for today’s most pressing needs. I look forward to seizing the opportunity with the team.”
Russell holds an MBA from The Wharton School, an MSc in Accounting and Finance from The London School of Economics and Political Science, and he graduated with a BS in Economics from the University of Washington.
