ABOUT JON RUSSELL
I build products that solve real problems, lead teams that work with clarity and conviction, and bring genuine hands-on experience with AI to everything I do.Most of my career has been at Oracle, where I shipped enterprise SaaS products used by hundreds of thousands of people, built a learning platform from zero to completed tutorials, and spent the last three years leading AI product initiatives at NetSuite. That meant running discovery sprints, shaping executive roadmaps, designing evaluation frameworks for AI use cases, and contributing to agentic capability in new product lines.Since leaving Oracle I have been running independent AI R&D on Apple Silicon, building and benchmarking open-source models, designing agentic pipelines, and documenting agent architecture decisions using ADRs. It is not a sabbatical. It is deliberate practice at the frontier of where product and AI intersect.I am at my best leading product organisations through ambiguity, establishing the discovery standards and operating models that raise the capability of the whole team, and translating complex strategy into execution that actually lands. I have done this at Oracle scale and I am looking for the next place to do it again.I care about working on things that matter, with people who are good at what they do, using technology that is genuinely pushing forward. If that sounds like your organisation, I would like to talk.
