Russell Malbrough

 

 

 

“Organizations would be lucky to have someone of Russell Malbrough's intellect, integrity and talents on their team. Russell was the consummate team player - I could always count on him to help with a project, take initiative, problem solve and go above and beyond what was necessary. He put incredible thought and effort into his work so you could always be confident when Russell gave you his contributions they were impeccable. I highly recommend Russell Malbrough.”

“Russell was highly respected by everyone on our staff, both for the work he did and for being a genuinely nice person. I personally respected and appreciated the thoughfulness with which he approached not only the work he did within his role but also the other services and programs we provided as a Center that were completely outside of his role. He always had insightful comments or questions during meetings. He would be a great asset to any team.”

“I would highly recommend Russell and his work at CCE. He rose up the ranks to create a new role as the Associate Director of Research and Technology and willingly assumed all areas of technology related services in the Center. A great listener, dedicated to providing all types of support for long term projects and emergencies - he was thorough, dedicated, and a tireless worker. His effort to go the extra mile will always be appreciated. More than happy to speak further and recommend his work to anyone.”

“Always sensitive to the group dynamic, Russell not only keeps the ball moving in the right direction but instigates the people around him to do the same. And it's not just Russell's diligence that makes you appreciate that he's part of the team. It's also his ability to quickly synthesize complex problems and offer to offer solutions that simply make sense.”

“Russell is absolutely exceptional!

“Russell is an amazing colleague and friend. He is extremely thoughtful, patient, and dedicated to everything that he does. He always takes the time to go above and byeond what is asked of him, and is a positive addition to any team that he is working on. He can take a highly technical concept and explain it to anyone, regardless of experience. It would be an honor to work on his team in the future!”

“Russell is one of the most hard working and knowledgeable people that I have ever worked with. He is the type of person that you know you can always call on. He goes above and beyond the call of duty - being as helpful and reliable as possible. Working with Russell was certainly a good learning experience for me - seeing the value of having a co-worker whom you can rely on for anything, and who will always be there to help you with what you are working on. I can say that I learned so much from Russell, both technically and personally, and I feel very lucky to have had him as my colleague! I couldn't ask for more!!”

“I worked with Russell through our Friends Group, a group of young professionals who volunteer and provide support for our non-profit (The Brotherhood/Sister Sol). Russell was an invaluable asset to the group and a leader by example. Though this was a volunteer position, Russell was always responsible and treated his position with the out-most importance. He was often a driving force behind events that the Friends Group coordinated and always creative with using his resources and networks to benefit the work we do here at The Brotherhood/Sister Sol. Even now that Russell is no longer in New York City, he continues to support our work by sending us resources and information.”

Russell, very early in his career, became known as one who could always be depended upon. He is a loyal and trusted adviser; founder of the Black Alumni Association at our alma mater and a bright mind. He is a true leader, displays no arrogance, and is adept at utilizing all of his skills for the success of any project he is affiliated with.”
