About Colin Smith

I\'m passionate about connecting new technologies and seemingly disparate concepts/ideas to create innovative new consumer experiences and products. Currently, I am a Senior Product Manager at Experian - the Credit Bureau in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role I direct the majority of the mobile experiences. My primary responsibility has been focussed on the design and development of the new Experian IdentityWorks app and leading experiences that are common in all of Experian\'s apps - from registration funnels to in-app purchasing and account servicing.Previously, I was the Senior Product Manager at HomeUnion - a fintech, real estate based, tech startup in Irvine, CA. In this role I directed all front-end consumer facing platforms from web to mobile experiences, along with data science products and experimental machine learning concepts. As the Software Product Category Manager​ role at Mophie, Inc. I managed a small team directing product strategy and execution.At Oakley, as the Innovation & Mobile App Category Manager, I worked in the Design department for over 10 years as a part of the Digital Consumer Experience team. In this role, I managed the Oakley Innovation Lab - driving digital retail experiences, leading mobile innovations around heads up displays, and AR/VR. I worked with companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google - getting access to technologies well before hints of it even hit the market - some technologies still haven\'t. Lastly I created and then directed all mobile app strategies globally for the brand.I\'m a bit of a chameleon. I\'m a translator, a business analyst, a marketer, a researcher, a designer, a futurist, and a programmer. I pick up new subject matters very quickly. I\'m talented at being able to quickly understand with customer & business needs, dive deep with the engineers to create an innovative new technology, get crafty with the designers, and then craft the go-to-market strategy that delights & engages the target audience.
