Colin led the analytics group for one of the NBA’s most sophisticated front offices. For eight years he led efforts shaping roster construction, player development, on-court strategy, and strategic planning. He built a trusted, high-impact department that integrated advanced modeling into real-world decision-making.

Internationally, Colin built the roster for a professional basketball expansion team in Latin America that became the #1 playoff seed by its second season, despite a league-average budget—proof that data-driven team building wins on the court and in the books.

He also worked at Nike, where he helped guide global strategy at the intersection of sport, performance, and brand. Colin brings a unique blend of front office precision and strategic vision to every club in our portfolio.
