Born in England and growing up in London, Russ was a teenager during the mad, mad ’60s. He received his degree in chemistry from University College, Cardiff in Wales; his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Sussex; and conducted post docs at the University of Georgia and University of Sussex before his first gig at Abbott Labs. He’s started 4 companies and is a self-described nerd who loves exquisite design: products have to be packaged right and marketed with panache!
