As Portfolio Manager I have worked with a number of Programme Directors, and Colin stands out for his technical skills, professionalism and commitment.
During his 6 months working for us Colin led a multi-disciplinary team, setting programme goals, overcoming issues and planning programme delivery. He performed strongly in all areas. Despite significant challenges his positive attitude made Colin a pleasure to work with.
Colin has been essential in delivering digital transformation to our overseas office in Italy, operatively managing the whole process from start to end.
His proactivity, his professionalism,his stubborness in "getting things done right first time" have no doubt contributed in a fundamental way to the success of this operation.
Even more than his already impressive technical/managerial skills, I recommend him for his immensely positive attitude, his willingness to resolve issues quickly and to everyone's satisfaction and his unique combination of powerful yet gentle approach to resolutions.
Colin managed multiple projects for technical work our company was delivering into DEFRA. As the client PM on the projects, Colin was great to work with and his skills in pushing both his internal teams and our teams together and forwards to deliver these very large projects was commendable.
Colin has very good people skills and his ability to coordinate the many delivery streams in an Agile PRINCE2 delivery program are second to none. Colin would make a great asset to any team or project and he can easily run entire programs of delivery for any company undergoing massive IT changes or moves towards cloud computing.
I have worked with Colin Masterman for the past two years. I have to commend Colin on his tenacity when working towards achieving goals on his projects. He is prepared to break down barriers, he is also very pragmatic in his approach; prepared to consider an alternative course of action or to work within any limitations that we may present.
He is a determined negotiator, but this is counterbalanced by the efforts that he makes in building virtual teams and fostering a collaborative environment within which all his suppliers can operate. People like working with Colin, there is no hidden agenda and he is very clear about his requirements and his expectations with regard to delivery.
Over the past two years, I have observed Colin adapting to challenges, he has remained remarkably calm when delays, which were completely outside of his control, have resulted in him having to reschedule his activities. He has managed to maintain his professionalism and pragmatism throughout.
It will come as no surprise to you to hear that Colin is held in very high regard by everyone here at SBL, from the Director level, right down to the Technical Support Consultants.
I have worked with Colin throughout his time with VCA and found him to be an excellent leader who is able to articulate where his business needs are and work with me to build a team that enables him to move his projects forward.
He is professional and courteous as well as being very honest in his approach. The people we have had working for Colin have also commented frequently on his excellent management skills and approachability. Colin is someone who is passionate about getting 'the job in hand' done both efficiently and effectively.
He has always striven to manage the business needs and those of this immediate team and has succeeded in managing to balance this brilliantly.
I had the pleasure of working with Colin on a couple of bleeding edge projects inc. Zero Trust Networking and Digital Transformation of legacy apps.
Colin has an extremely professional and friendly approach and ensures maximum efficiency in delivery and on boarding. Able to adapt to rapidly changing environments, Colin is a very strong and agile project and delivery manager, who can deliver any major programme. A real pleasure to work alongside.
