Bio
Madeleine Rowe
When I joined Bynder just over 2 years ago, I was completely new to Digital Asset Management (DAM) and had much to learn. I quickly realised that Russ would be one-of-a-kind mentor not only on the industry but also on all things customer success, implementation and on the business world in general. Reporting into Russ was a privilege and Russ’ management style is inspirational. He affords great freedom and trust to his employees but is always on hand to offer support when needed or talk over a problem or issue. These conversations were always highly valued as Russ’ advice was always very solutions orientated, grounded in his fantastic product knowledge but also his experience in the DAM industry and with complex DAM project implementations. Russ was/is very well respected from people at all levels and was spoken of highly among peers and clients alike. Bynder surely won’t be the same without him and while we will miss having him as part of the team we also can’t wait to see where Russ’ adventures lead him next! There is no doubt that Russ will be a success with whatever he turns his hand to.

Russ was fundamental in my growth at Bynder, tirelessly helping myself and the team grow to our full potential. He's always willing to go the extra mile offering help and support when needed. His astute attention to detail and deep knowledge of the DAM industry was invaluable to us and will be sorely missed.

As a Rapid Response Team Developer my role was to design and build small, tactical solutions for the GSK R&D division. At the time the main development resources of the R&D IT department were working on large scale strategic projects which meant the smaller projects were never undertaken. The Rapid Response Team was able to deliver these small projects quickly and efficiently, alleviating the strain on the main development team and delivering value to the business.
