Biography

Julian Russell is Chief Product Officer at Amtivo, based in the UK. Drawing on a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cambridge and his qualifications as a Lead Auditor in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001, Julian brings deep technical expertise and a customer-focused approach to product innovation. 

He has worked in the ISO certification industry since 2009, building on senior leadership experience in the chemicals, food, and plastics sectors from 1994 to 2008. Julian joined Amtivo in 2019 when the businesses he co-owned - Equas and MyActiv - became part of the Amtivo Group. Until 2024, he led the company’s product development and compliance functions. Today, his focus is on creating services that complement and extend Amtivo’s core ISO certification offering, helping customers achieve their goals with confidence. 

Outside of work, Julian is a keen sailor, a passion he discovered in 2020. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of where and with whom he sails, travelling widely. He also enjoys exploring the commercial potential of emerging technologies - an adventurous mindset that mirrors his innovative approach at Amtivo.
