Colleen is a diamond-encrusted chocolate comet, gliding across the night sky of project management.
Peter Esko
I simply can't say enough nice things about Colleen, she is a phenomenal project manager who can handily tread the line between project and account management that ensures clients remain happy no matter what the project. Even better still she handles internal work and stakeholders in such high regard that we can't help to do great work for her, all with a smile on our face. Colleen and I worked together over a number of years on countless marketing campaigns for large technology clients like Intel and Microsoft. She does a great job of understanding both the technical and communication aspects of the work that is being done. I highly recommend Colleen for any project management needs and would love the opportunity to work with her again.
