Colin German

Colin German is a seasoned senior-level strategist with good leadership, communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills.  Following over 20 years experience in business, management and C-Level positions, CMG Consulta was founded with the vision of bringing C-Level input and expertise to companies who typically would not employ their own CXOs.  Colin is driven by a strong commitment to clients where he firmly believes in exhibiting integrity and building trust as the foundation for all client relationships.

In his work with businesses, he is fascinated by the entrepreneurial spirit and innovation that businesses have built into them through their owners and managers yet he grounds that with the proper financials, people and processes in order to make the business a viable, self-sustaining operation.

Colin’s experience in building and growing teams and companies has helped him build a strategic mindset.  This, coupled with well-founded financial knowledge and a technical background enables the development of business strategies, structuring of businesses and growth of their opportunity areas.  This experience has been gained over multiple industries like technology, fintech, professional services and import and distribution.

Aside from the professional aspects of his life, Colin enjoys spending time with his family, enjoying nature, going on walks and catching up on a long reading list of books, articles and journals related to many different topics.
