Russell, pictured, has been marketing director for Bacardi China for three years, developing the business and the DEWAR’S brand in the China market.

Russell led the strategic brand development of Bacardi’s premium spirit brands, overseeing innovations and communication initiatives.

Prior to that, Russell held various roles at Bacardi Lion in Australia covering trade marketing and marketing planning.
