Summary
Kyle Russell is a product and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and commercializing hardware, software, and consumer apps from prototype to launch. He mixes hands-on engineering chops with product marketing and GTM execution—founding Playbyte, helping Skydio ship autonomous drone platforms and APIs, and later driving operations and launch for Bigscreen’s lightweight VR headset. Now leading Product Enablement at Valon, he specializes in turning technical prototypes into deployable solutions and go-to-market motion. He’s comfortable wearing many hats across build, market, and sell functions and has a track record of growing user bases organically (including a zero-ad Playbyte TestFlight→App Store launch). Based in New York, Kyle bridges startup founding experience, venture investing exposure, and technical delivery to move emerging computing platforms from idea to revenue.
