As a young professional leadership has always been important to Russell, ever since he first learned of its necessity from captaining the Ardrossan Academicals mini rugby team, progressing through all the age groups.
After university, Russell started working in accountancy which gave him invaluable experience of working with the smallest of companies to large corporates. Having always been more interested in businesses overall rather than just the accounts, he quickly jumped at the opportunity to have a more entrepreneurial role within The Academy.
Russell now spends my time developing programmes of learning and helping facilitate our qualification delivery and support teams in bringing the highest quality service to our Leaders and Coaches.
In his spare time he enjoys walking along the Scottish coastline, watching rugby, football, and F1, when he’s not torn away to work on his Masters degree in Innovation and Leadership.
