“Beyond Colin’s obvious expertise in the [tech] field, it was his compassion and genuine nature that truly set him apart. Colin is an authentically good person, and that shines through in his teaching and interactions.
He's a master connector with a knack for bringing people together. Honestly, he could teach a course on networking itself! I especially appreciate his dedication to helping others succeed, particularly in such a competitive field. He's constantly sharing new job opportunities and fighting the good fight to support those looking to break into product management, especially during these tumultuous times. That kind of commitment does not go unnoticed.
If you have the opportunity to learn from Colin, don't miss it. He's not just a great coach and instructor; he's a role model.”
“Working with Colin gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to take the next step in my career. His deep knowledge of the tech industry helped me better understand how to position my skills for opportunities at companies like Tesla and KPMG. Colin not only debriefed my interviews with me, but also coached me through conversations with my leader at KPMG—ultimately helping me secure a transfer into the AI product management team. His guidance combined industry insight with practical strategies for advocating for myself, and I left every session with clear next steps and the confidence to follow through.”

Colin was instrumental in helping me transition from a Sales Enablement Manager into a Product Manager role, and later earn a promotion to Senior Product Manager. Through our sessions, I learned how to navigate stakeholder expectations, advocate for internal opportunities, and build confidence in my PM career path. Thanks to Colin’s mentorship, I not only made the switch but also secured a promotion with a 15% salary increase—outcomes I couldn’t have achieved without his guidance. I would highly recommend him!

Colin’s coaching completely reshaped how I approach product development. His frameworks helped me build strategies for product prioritization, efficient product discovery and make smarter product decisions. He pushed me to lead with the ‘why,’ not just the ‘how,’ and guided me through building a product with a real monetization strategy while using an iterative development process. If you want to strengthen your product sense and drive real business impact, Colin is THE coach to learn from.”

Colin has been an incredible mentor to me. He coached me to build strong Product Management skills and guided me to move from a QA Analyst role to pivot and get promoted as Senior Product Manager. His hands-on coaching not only gave me the confidence to take on new challenges but also helped me deliver real results from digital marketing strategies to executing campaigns and product launches. What I value most about Colin is his inspiring and supportive approach to mentoring. He doesn't just share his knowledge and expertise, but also empowers his mentees to succeed. I strongly recommend Colin to anyone who is looking to step into their next role.

"Colin was my Product Management instructor at BrainStation, and I really enjoyed learning from him. Even as an experienced professional and newcomer to Canada, I picked up great insights on the Canadian job market, networking, and product management. His guidance and the way he ran discussions really inspired me and helped me grow my leadership skills."

Learning from Colin during my product management certification at BrainStation was a turning point in my learning journey. He went beyond teaching frameworks — he challenged us to think like product managers and apply concepts in real ways. His encouragement and thoughtful feedback gave me the confidence to start my own French-language learning product, Lingollo. Colin's coaching style is honest, curious and approachable. I would highly recommend him to those who want to level up in their career.
