Russell Haworth

Russell has worked across a range of sectors, from FinTech to Cyber Security, and now within the language services market. The red thread between these roles is the passion to grow and scale businesses with a clear strategy, accelerated by a combination of organic innovation and acquisitions.

Over the last two decades, he has been fortunate enough to work for some great companies – from listed multinationals to private medium-sized businesses. Those experiences have helped him to develop deep P&L, operational, commercial, financial, and strategic skills. 

Born in Cheshire, UK, Russell has lived and worked in four continents – Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Each one has given him a different perspective, developing a cultural empathy and respect for what makes us all different. 

He has a keen interest in technologies that have the potential to transform how we work – and has written a book with Forbes on Digital Transformation.  As a father of two teenage boys, he is also a strong advocate of internet safety and has supported multiple charities to tackle this challenge.

Outside of work, Russell enjoys mountain biking and golf, yet spends most weekends doing neither, as he’s also quite handy at driving his boys to sports matches!

Passions:

Liverpool Football Club…You will never walk alone! 

Learning new things…currently AC/DC on his guitar.
