Russell Simmons

American entrepreneur and record executive

In the history of enterprise, Russell Simmons is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Russell Simmons as American entrepreneur and record executive.

Russell Simmons was born at Queens in 1957. His recorded nationality is United States. He was educated at City College of New York and August Martin High School.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur, writer and record producer.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

That the business was built from United States shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Russell Simmons is still active, and the verdict on the career has not been reached.
