TONY RUSSELL

Chief Commercial Officer at Charles Taylor Insuretech Limited

An energetic, motivated and dynamic senior executive with excellent strategic, management, sales and marketing skills. Extensive global sales and delivery experience and proven success in developing and leading new business strategy.

Over the past thirty five years I have worked exclusively in the global software market in a number of differing sectors, and in that time have been involved in all strategic and commercial aspects of the entire supply chain, from forming my own company and developing a global network of distributors, to assisting in the establishment of a start-up brand to a market leader. In all cases I have outperformed the corporate and commercial targets.

The past eighteen years have been spent in the Global Insurance market initially selling and marketing broking systems followed by MGA and productivity solutions and underwriting solutions. Singe 2015 I have been part of a team that has built a £50m tech company from scratch, leading the commercial team we now have circa 600 people in both the UK and LATAM. Throughout this time we have won some major global contracts and I have built a strong and extensive global network along with a solid reputation.

My early roots lie in the behavioural sciences with a degree in Ergonomics and Human Factors from Loughborough University, UK. I have spent the last thirty years pioneering and promoting the benefits of adopting a People-Shaped approach in business. My first book, “People-Shaped, Tales and Tricks of a Human Centred Designer”, was published in 2018 and I presented its core findings at TEDx in Krakow, Poland. Alongside my consulting work with businesses, I'm a lecturer on the MBA and Executive education electives at Judge Business School Cambridge University, the MA programs at the Royal College of Art in London, and a visiting professor at Ravensbourne University. I'm also creative director at human-centered design consultancy Firsthand Experience and co-founder of Tickbird & Rhino, a community practice that brings together people from different backgrounds in creative conversation and collaboration.
