Russell has previously featured regularly on CNBC Europe as both a reporter and producer. She has also appeared on GMTV and The Pod Delusion.
Russell is a freelance reporter on the Webscape segment of the BBC technology show Click, which is broadcast in the UK on BBC News and internationally on BBC World News.

Russell's novel Elite: Mostly Harmless was the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign which raised over 400% of its funding goal. It is a story set in the Universe of the Elite computer games.
A second novel A Bookkeeper's Guide to Practical Sorcery, a children's fantasy, was published in 2016. An audiobook version read by Charles Collingwood was the subject of another successful Kickstarter campaign.
