Bio
Kevin Blakey
Colin is an extremely dedicated and knowledgeable product manager who is adept at learning very complex technology very quickly and apply it to customer needs. Colin reported to me at EFI when he was a product manager for the Packaging suite. He is a great relationship builder and has a great rapport with customers and colleagues alike. He helped build stronger bonds and relationships with our user community and coordinated successful industry-specific focus groups to great effect. His positive approach and attention to detail make him a welcome addition to any team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colin wholeheartedly.

I had the privilege of working with Colin while he was a product manager at EFI. He was the coordinator for the Radius Multi Plant Focus Group that I am a member of and he coordinated the on-site meetings making them both beneficial and enjoyable. It was good to have a contact who was coordinating the input of the customers for a better and more valuable product. I really appreciate that he understood the need to listen to our specific requirements as larger customers and he understood that some of our needs were unique.
