Economic Development

Economic Development

Know what your community is and is not, understand your target market, and build systems that serve them both. Innovation here is differentiation and vision.

Private Industry

Private Industry

Enter a new market, a new sector, or a new strategic partnership with a plan at the crossroads of best practice and innovation.

Nonprofit

Nonprofit

Turn your mission into an effort that public, private and institutional partners move on together. Innovation in this world is squarely in an ecosystem approach.

“Leaving our communities better than we
found them takes a systems-level
approach: zoom out, understand, adapt,
then build the path.”

Hey, I’m Colin.

My career runs through advanced manufacturing, business development, founding a startup, economic development, and advising global companies of every shape and size. The common thread: the biggest wins come from connecting dots others treat as separate.


Do you have a vision or challenge in one of these areas? Let’s talk about doing something meaningful together.
