Honoring Christine Russell’s Legacy
Christine was a staple in Silicon Valley through her long career as a technology CFO. She also served on multiple private and public companies and served in leadership at associations such as FEI and NACD.
Christine was one of the original board members of SVDX and served as chairman for many years. She was a visionary, a steward, and a believer in the mission of SVDX from the start. She helped guide and shape the values of the organization and championed our purpose with great dedication.
Christine’s leadership, wisdom and warmth contributed to all organizations she was associated with. Her commitment to doing what was right was clear in every interaction she had. We will miss her wit, enthusiasm, generous spirit, thoughtful mentorship, and wonderful sense of humor.
As we reflect on Christine’s life and contributions, we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who mourn this loss. May we continue to honor her memory through the work we do and the mission we carry forward.
