Kevin Russell’s Summary

Innovative digital media executive with 20 years of management, technical and creative design knowledge and skills. Having held senior production, operations, and management roles across Internet, Media, Technology, Telecommunications, Health Care, Education and Broadcasting industries, my work spans audio & music production, symbolic systems interface design, ecommerce systems, and management consulting on simulation systems learning integration. I am passionately focused on strategic and operational partnerships, which converge rich media and virtual environment business strategies with game-based simulations and augmented reality for context and location aware systems. Simulated experience design for mobile, augmented location aware systems, will fundamentally change how, where, and when we learn, work and play over the semantic web and Internet2. I am able to deliver strategic, actionable insights into emerging opportunities based on a combination of hands on, operations, systems thinking and user experience design.
