Career history
Russ has over 25 years of experience in the SAP services industry. Before joining RED Global in 2018, Russ worked for several SAP and Oracle partners where he was involved in everything from license sales to implementations to support work.
While working in his first SAP partner, Russ closed the largest deal, and first SAP implementation project, the company had ever won. Since then, he’s gone on to specialize in comprehensive solutions for his clients’ pain points and disrupting the SAP and IT staffing industry.
In the 7 years since Russ joined RED Global, he has fundamentally changed the US go-to-market plan, driven tremendous growth in the number of clients and billing consultants, and been promoted from Practice Manager to Practice Director. Now, as VP of the Northeast US region, Russ is responsible for continuing to grow the US and, working with his top sales producers, is sharing his formula for success with our European colleagues and advising RED’s leadership team on regional and national differences between the US and Europe.

What Russ loves about RED
“I love the culture here at RED! We have a wonderful group of men and women who work their tails off every day, and it shows in our results. I feel valued and am an integral part of the daily operations here in the US, and I feel heard by our leadership team in London. It’s not often you can be your authentic self at work but it’s all I’ve ever done here, and my key still works”
