I worked with Colin for the last 3 years and it has been a joyful roller coaster. He is the go-to-guy on any given day. His ability to work on different projects, multi-task, co-ordinate/communicate with different teams is remarkable. He clearly understands the project goals and how to achieve them. Colin's coaching abilities and problem solving skills are great and it helps the team members. Always goes out of the way to help. I would definetely recommend him to any company. All the very best.

Colin is one of the best Project managers I've ever had a pleasure to work with. He's able to efficiently transfer the message from business to dev and vice versa, since understands pain points of both parties. Working with him on different projects is always a funny adventure even if some parts of it sound boring - yeah, he can make it happen by continuosly contributing to team's morale! And socially - he's always a life of the party. So he's definitely a person I'd recommend to work with.
