Dan Russell is Managing Director of GlobeNet Travel, a leading online leisure agency established in 2000 that was recognised as an Australian Deloitte Fast 50 Tech company in 2005, one of only two from the travel sector in that year. In March 2007, Dan launched Clean Cruising with the aim of reinventing cruise research online. The site lets users easily compare over 8,000 cruises with the help of rich mapping and arguably the most powerful search tool around. Dan doesn't mind getting his hands dirty with code and is responsible for usability and design aspects as well as ensuring the site is highly optimised for search engines, user load times and conversion. The site got a stamp of approval from the developer community in June 2008 when it was selected as the favourite mashup at Google's Developer Day in Sydney. Prior to joining the family owned and operated business, Dan cut his teeth as the Internet Marketing Specialist for Eyeball Networks, a Vancouver based tech startup. There he was responsible for growing the user base of a consumer video chat application to over a million people before defining the usability specs for subsequent versions. |
