About Russell Gagnon
I’m a product leader who loves taking messy, high-stakes problems and turning them into simple, humane experiences.As Chief Product Officer at Wellth, I lead product strategy for an incentive-driven digital health platform that helps health plans and providers improve everyday chronic care behaviors—like taking meds and monitoring BP/glucose—through low-friction design, clear feedback loops, and motivation that works in the real world.Before healthcare, I built and scaled products across analytics, data platforms, and consumer experiences—including co-founding a SaaS analytics startup. I’m happiest at the intersection of customer insight, design craft, and measurable outcomes.
