Russell's valuable insights, vast industry experience and clear communication made the transition seamless from school into the workplace. He provided the tools I needed to succeed and always set clear expectations. He continually supported me throughout my time at Zynga and shared career advice I will remember as I continue my career. I'm grateful for the time I worked under Russell and would highly recommend Russell as a manager who combines industry expertise with a genuine investment in his team's success." and "Russ is a great manager, and a prime example of someone who understands some of the most important aspects of management. He knows that the best way to manage employees is to build relationships with them, take a genuine interest in them and their lives, and make sure that they have what they need to perform their job well - beyond just ensuring that they perform the tasks they need to do. And, of course, he does that too. Russ also has a strong technical background that gives him a much better sense of how to work with programmers. There was never a point where I felt as if Russ didn't understand the work that I was doing or that there was a technical barrier that caused friction in how we worked together. He knows how to follow up on tasks effectively, how to work with and around the challenges of uncertain scheduling, and how to clearly communicate timelines while supporting the employees he is managing. Even when put in difficult positions, such as if his employee feels that their needs or interests are in conflict with those of the company, Russ is able to navigate discussions with tact and empathy to land on a workable solution if it is at all possible. I would have much more confidence in any project knowing that Russ has a hand in it."
