About Colin MacKie
I’ve spent 27 years building and leading game teams—helping studios make better decisions, ship more reliably, and navigate the moments where execution risk is highest.
My work today focuses on two outcomes: giving publishers and investors a clear view of whether a team can deliver, and helping founders strengthen product leadership and operating cadence without adding unnecessary overhead.
I’m proud of the track record—three Game of the Year awards and an Emmy nomination—but what matters most is the practical side: turning ambiguity into decisions and decisions into execution.

Highlights
- 27 years in games (team leadership + execution)
- 3 Game of the Year awards; Emmy nomination
- Specialty: de-risking execution and building delivery reliability
What I value in the work
Calm execution is a competitive advantage. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s clarity, alignment, and momentum.
- Clear priorities over crowded roadmaps
- Decision rights and accountability over status theater
- Operating cadence that surfaces risk early
