Russell Dubner
Russell Dubner joined Edelman's New York office as an account executive in 1992 and today is president of that same office, which is now home to more than 600 experts in consumer marketing, health communications, corporate and public affairs, financial relations, digital engagement and research.
Mr. Dubner has provided positioning counsel to companies such as Canon, Church & Dwight, Dannon, Energizer, GE, Heinz, HSBC, L'Oreal, Motorola, MetLife, Samsung, Starbucks and Unilever as well as a number of fast-growth technology firms. Mr. Dubner also co-authored Edelman's Master Narrative approach which builds consistency and continuity in how a brand tells its story.
His substantial tenure at Edelman belies an entrepreneurial side: Mr. Dubner helped found RipDigital, a digital music service that converts music CDs into music files. He remained on its board until the company was sold in 2005.
Mr. Dubner holds an MBA from Columbia Business School's Executive Program and is a graduate of Franklin & Marshall College. He currently sits on the boards of the Coro NY Leadership Center and New York City think-tank Center for an Urban Future. He is also a member of the Young Presidents' Organization's Gotham Chapter and an advisor to Alliance for Youth Movements.
