Russell Brown is an experienced Senior Project Manager currently with Lion, having rejoined in February 2024 to work on a diverse range of capital projects. Prior to this, Russell held the position of Technical Services Manager at SMC Construction, where involvement in medium to large scale projects was significant, though a resource consent setback led to a return to the manufacturing industry. Past roles include Contract Project Manager for JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS, where an expansion project for JDE Coffee NZ was successfully completed, and previously for Lion during a challenging Warehouse transformation project amid COVID-19. With extensive experience dating back to 2007, including roles in electrical maintenance and project management at companies like Fonterra and Tip Top Ice Cream, Russell has developed expertise across various sectors, particularly in the FMCG environment.
