Speaker:

Russ Shaw (Tech London Advocates)

About Russ Shaw: Russ Shaw is the founder of Tech London Advocates and Global Tech Advocates. He founded Tech London Advocates in 2013 to ensure an independent voice of the technology sector was heard, but with a focus on the private sector. Since then, he has been championing London as a global tech hub and campaigning to address some of the biggest challenges facing tech companies in the UK – diversity, digital skills, immigration, infrastructure and access to funding.

Russ was previously the Chairman of The Marketing Group of Great Britain following senior positions at Skype, Telefónica, O2 and CEO of a later stage startup called Mobileway. In his role as Marketing Director for O2, Russ brokered the relationship with The O2, the most successful indoor venue in the world.

In 2019, he was named in the London Evening Standard’s Progress 1,000, a list of the most influential people in the capital.

We look forward to seeing you online!
