Why Choose me:
I bring over 30 years of dynamic experience in the commercial sector. My career has been a journey filled with challenges, successes, and invaluable lessons, all fuelled by a constant drive and adrenaline rush.
I have served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for several global companies, successfully raising $15 billion in debt and equity worldwide. I was instrumental in building two entrepreneurial start-ups, which we later sold for billions, to some of the largest corporations in the world. These ventures involved dual tracking for both Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and private sales—experiences I successfully navigated twice, once with U.S. private equity and then with Asian billionaire owners.
While financial returns often took precedence during these high-paced times, I always remained focused on the people behind the numbers. The human element was, and remains, the core driving force behind my leadership approach.
Throughout my career, I have directly led, coached, and mentored countless individuals, always recognizing and nurturing the potential of people. Over the past decade, I have delved into the science of leadership, human behavior, and psychology, seeking to formalize and enhance what was previously an intuitive leadership style.
After a rewarding corporate career, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish my own business. I further honed my skills by completing an accredited coaching course with the Association for Coaching and studying Psychology and Leadership with unmatched dedication.
Today, I channel this passion into helping others succeed—that’s my new source of fulfillment.
What People Are Saying
"Truly rewarding. Colin brought insightful frameworks to delve into various personal and professional challenges, providing clarity to my perspective. I achieved all the goals we initially set, and more, which I owe in large part to Colin’s guidance and ability to get me thinking critically. I would highly recommend Colin's coaching to anyone I know."
— Conor Maguire, Corporate Financier
"You've been an amazing coach and that combined with your experience means you'll have a really positive impact both with individuals and organisations looking to invest in their people."
— Paul Murphy, CFO
"I work in an extremely busy executive role. I felt like I was continually chasing my tail. Working with Colin helped me to zoom out to focus on what was most important for my success, and the organisation’s. He helped me empower my team and create time to think, plan and strategise. With his guidance I developed my executive presence. Ironically, I became less busy, but way more assured and confident and calm. It was noted by everyone around me, my peers, my team, and the leadership team – and I received awards accordingly. Though for me, the most rewarding benefit was the mindset change where I realised I could achieve anything I wanted to do, and not get stressed."
