“I have worked alongside Colin for the global launch of Dita.com, a luxury eyewear e-Commerce site. While the entire project had several moving parts, Colin was pivotal in hitting deadlines, managing outside vendors, and organizing cross-functional teams such as legal, operations and high level stakeholders. For most teams, launching a global web store can take up to a year whereas Colin was able to sprint in a timely and effective manner getting a site up with full operational support in 3 months. I was also very impressed with his ability to scope out the larger scale of a project and look well into every detail and aspect to not only benefit his projects but also that of the entire company.”

Trading Online for SMEs - An Activating Dublin pilot

Delivered a global first, in bringing together Google, Facebook, eBay and PayPal, for an innovative, transformative pilot to assist Irish SMEs to trade online. The impact in 3 months after the pilot companies was that 55% saw increase in sales/leads, 30% were exporting more, and 70% saw potential for job creation (a quarter of which had already hired new staff).

These results from this pilot lead to direct support of the Department of Communications Trading Online Voucher scheme which is being rolled out to 2,000 SMEs. The learnings and best practice was also directly shared through the Chamber membership in a joint event with the Web Summit in 2013 called BaseCamp which I chaired and designed the programme based on the pilot.
