    Connected Life Solutions Operates as COLife

    Connected Life Solutions, LLC was established in Florida in 2016, with operations meaningfully commencing in 2019. The company operates under the name COLife.

    COLife is a multidisciplinary business, technology and project-development advisory firm. We work with organizations facing opportunities that cross traditional boundaries—where strategy, technology, finance, infrastructure, government relationships, commercialization and implementation must come together.

    Rather than maintaining a large fixed organization, COLife assembles the right combination of experienced professionals around the actual requirements of each engagement. That keeps the team relevant, accountable and focused on the work at hand.

    People We Know. Work We Have Seen. Expertise We Can Depend On.

    The professionals within COLife are individuals Mario has personally worked with on projects in the United States and internationally. Some relationships extend back approximately 40 years; even the newest have been tested through several years of working together.

    Expertise matters. But at COLife, trust, ownership and reliable execution matter just as much.

    What Guides Us

    Experience Is Valuable. Character Makes It Dependable.

    Our operating principles shape both who joins an engagement and how the work is performed.

    01 / TRUST

    Earned Through Experience

    Long-term professional relationships give COLife firsthand knowledge of how people perform when the work becomes complex.

    02 / ACCOUNTABILITY

    Ownership Without Micromanagement

    Experts are expected to understand their responsibilities, communicate clearly and deliver without needing to be watched over.

    03 / COLLABORATION

    Disciplines Working Together

    Commercial, technical, financial and operational workstreams are coordinated around a common objective.

    04 / EXECUTION

    Progress Over Presentation

    Strategy matters most when it produces a practical path toward decisions, partnerships, implementation and measurable outcomes.

    How COLife Works
