Steve Russell

Steve was the customer, the decision-maker, the guy outsourcing companies chased for business. Yet, he rarely had the experience he expected and seldom realized the value US-based customers require from outsourcing.

Unsatisfied, he quit his prestigious role at McKesson (NYSE: MCK) to bring the solution he desired to market – an outsourcing company like no other. Silicon-valley-like talent from across the globe with an ethos and culture to rival the very best US companies. Fostering self-belief, giving responsibility right away, and bringing a People First mentality, Steve is delivering the value he had always desired.

Before founding Upstart 13, Steve oversaw the Patient Services Business Unit within healthcare unicorn CoverMyMeds, a McKesson technology company. Additionally, Steve ran the Business Operations and Services Teams for publicly traded AI Software company, PROS Inc. (NYSE: PRO). A Berkeley Executive Leader with over two decades in the software industry, Steve holds a Master’s of Science from The University of Liverpool in Information Systems Management and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Design Engineering.
