About Dave Collier, P.Eng.

A Senior Technology Executive and Professional Engineer with 25+ years of High Performing Technology Team Leadership experience.My career has traveled a path through public and private enterprises, through digital and traditional media organizations, through banking and civil engineering. I've made it my professional calling card to deeply understand a problem in order to build or recommend an appropriate, forward-thinking strategy and solution. My success can be credited to my adherence to these principles:CollaborationI am a transparent, collaborative leader. It is essential to share knowledge, to spread ideas and to bring every thought to the table honestly and fearlessly so it can mingle with other people’s ideas and become something greater. I take great delight in managing people, in learning to use their strengths to create a team that is greater than the sum of its parts. I value and model loyalty.ExecutionI have successfully delivered many multimillion-dollar cross-departmental projects and through these projects have come to realize that finding creative solutions to problems is my forte. I have demonstrated success at simplifying: this may be my superpower. As the leader of a support service it is an essential skill. Only simplicity will build confidence in the product or project.FeedbackAs an engineer with a background in control systems theory, I find I have a unique perspective on the role of feedback in all aspects of management. Whether for continuously improving a process, mentoring a younger employee or informing a strategic direction, objective and accurate measurements in all business practices are essential in determining direction. In short, reporting feedback is the key to accountability and success. I have built highly engaged teams while improving the efficiency and productivity by double digit percentages.DesignUser experience is fundamental to success. Design cannot be secondary or a product or service will be avoided. It is essential to create an experience that will delight and engage. I am an enormous fan of Design Thinking processes in all aspects of planning.
