Flannery, Russel

Russell Flannery has been reporting on Asia's businesses for top-tier U.S. media for more than a decade. Since joining Forbes Global as an associate editor in early 2001, he has interviewed and profiled Asian business leaders such as Legend Holdings Chairman Liu Chuanzhi, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co-Chairman Morris Chang, Formosa Plastics Group Chairman Y.C. Wang, Haier Group Chairman Zhang Ruimin, and BenQ Chairman K.Y. Lee. Before moving to Forbes, Russell was a correspondent in Taipei and Shanghai for Bloomberg News (1991-1997) and in Taipei for the Asian Wall Street Journal (1998-2000). Russell wrote a cover story in May 2002 in which Forbes Global named Shanghai as the best city for entrepreneurs in the world; six months later, Russell himself was named the Chief of Forbes’ first-ever bureau in mainland China, located in Shanghai. The Forbes bureau has greatly helped to expand Forbes’ coverage of China’s increasingly important economy, its entrepreneurs, and the strategies of foreign business that hope to succeed in its thriving yet complex markets. Russell also leads the compilation of the Forbes China Rich List and frequently appears in Chinese media. A fluent Mandarin Chinese speaker, Russell holds a master’s degree in agricultural and resource economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is married with one daughter.
