Founder & CEO of AUTOMOBILITY LIMITEDBill Russo is the Shanghai-based Founder and CEO of Automobility Limited, a strategy and investment advisory firm helping its clients to create the future of mobility. His 40 years of experience includes 17 years as an automotive executive, including 18 years of experience in China and Asia.
