Russ Cohn

Commercially focused senior leader with a track record of building and scaling fast-growth technology businesses. First international hire at two acquired companies, pre-IPO Google experience, zero to one builder, first hire team grower. I help executive teams and boards cut through complexity to focus on what drives growth: market entry, building the right teams, targeting the right customers, and innovating in product approach.

I can advise on new entry companies who want to set up a new office or team from scratch, or retool existing operations for the next stage of growth. Experienced across multiple sectors and business sizes, I adapt quickly to different systems and structures while keeping commercial outcomes front and centre.

I specialise on new market build and launch strategies including:

☑️ GTM design and execution

☑️ ICP and TAM definition grounded in real buyer behaviour

☑️ Partner, channel, and ecosystem strategy

☑️ Connectivity into the UK market (customers, partners, other routes to revenue)
