Dianne Miller
I had the pleasure of working with Colter, first as as his reporting manager and then as a peer, over the course of six years at The Regis Company. I can say without question Colter is one of the most skilled leaders I have had the opportunity to work with, both insofar as his care for his own reports, and the aplomb with which he handled challenging client situations. Colter has continuously dedicated himself to continuous improvement, routinely seeking out feedback and taking action for his personal and professional growth. This approach was reflected not only in his own professional skills, but in those of his team; Colter has the rare ability to raise the performance of those around him through his own good example. During the last year I worked with Colter he was tasked not only with the growth and development of several team members but spearheading a key client project. Watching Colter handle both circumstances with grace and good humor, while at the same time meeting the expectation of the client and his direct reports, cemented my option of Colter as a gifted executive who would be an asset to any organization.

Colter has been one of the best business partner's I've encountered. He's never afraid to speak up, corral stakeholders, say what needs to be said, and get things done. He has excellent executive presence, a quick mind geared to solve problems, and a marvelous wit. I'm looking forward to my next chance to work with him.
