Bio
Barry Cohen
I worked with Miguel at Clearnet (now TELUS Mobility). Miguel was the Director, Continuous Learning. Miguel and his team were responsible for the development and delivery of all learning programs for Clearnet. Miguel brought a structured approach to learning and competency development that was absolutely critical to the organization’s success – both effectiveness and efficiency. Miguel’s leadership set the pace and the ‘bar’ for his team and they delivered ‘high impact’ training programs that supported tremendous growth in Clearnet’s employee base. To provide context, Miguel joined Clearnet when it was a ‘start-up’ telco – prior to it providing any services. The company grew incredibly fast as did the employee base, placing intense demands on every functional area to continually train a rapidly growing team. In my role, as Director of Sales, I highly valued Miguel’s approach and contributions. He was consultative, and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the sales processes and challenges we faced with the rapid establishment of a B2B sales team. Miguel truly understands how the right training programs can positively impact organizational effectiveness and the ‘bottom line’.

I worked with Miguel at AirIQ and he was a genuine pleasure to work with. His meticulous attention to detail for day to day operation of his job as well as his expertise in marketing was highly valued. He stopped at nothing to ensure that all deadlines were met. He will do whatever it takes. He has excellent listening skills and treated everyone with respect. It would be pleasure to work with Miguel at any time.
