My name is Jason P. Russell, a 46-year-old entrepreneur, technologist, and veteran with a strong background in cybersecurity, intelligence, and emerging technologies. I’ve been married for 25 years and am the proud father of identical twin sons who are now both in college. I live in the Orlando, Florida, area with my wife, sons, and our cats. As a serial entrepreneur, I have founded multiple companies, including Grocerly and Harmony Tech, where I focused on leveraging technology to create innovative and scalable solutions. Currently, I work as a fractional Chief Technology Officer (CTO), advising companies on strategic technology initiatives to help them navigate complex and evolving markets.

Before transitioning into entrepreneurship, I spent over eight years in the U.S. Navy as a Cryptologic Technician (Communications) under NAVSECGRU/NETWARCOM, specializing in secure communications and cyber security. During my military service, I also worked as a senior consultant at the National Security Agency (NSA), focusing on national security operations, and later spent four years in Iraq as the MND-B Division Lead for the Tactical Biometric Cell program, overseeing identity intelligence efforts in high-risk environments. These experiences refined my ability to operate under pressure, solve complex problems, and lead technology-driven initiatives. Today, I apply that same analytical mindset and leadership to my work, helping businesses optimize their technology strategies while staying ahead of industry trends.
