The no-code era’s impact on value creation, and Airship’s opportunity to unlock it, are massive, and I’m thrilled to have Joe join our team at the helm.”
“Airship has a long history of driving mobile-first innovations that have transformed customer engagement models across industries and redefined how brands create value today,” said Joe Russell, CFO, Airship. “The future is even more exciting. Brands everywhere know the impact mobile apps have on growth and loyalty and their customers do too, but both are often left wanting more. 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.
